i
profit from mayor’s
push to privatize
By Andrew Martin, Laurie Cohen
and Ray. Gibson, <? . ,
Tribune Staff Writers
A month after Richard Daley
became Chicago's mayor, Patricia
Green launched a janitorial com-
pany called Windy City Mainte-
nance even though she had no
experience in the field.
Windy City’s stunning success
since then— It now. takes In about
$13 million a year in city-related
business — might seem like an
uplifting tale of the city helping a
woman-owned firm get established.
But a Tribune Investigation
reveals' that Windy City’s story
actually features political Insiders
tied to City Hall and to organized-
crime members In Chicago and
South Florida.
Windy City Maintenance isn’t
run by Patricia Green, and Patri-
cia Green isn’t her full name
either. Instead, Patricia Green Is
the maiden name of 71 -year-old
Patricia Green Duff, and her com-
pany is run by the men In the
Duff family.
*
The Tribune found that three
companies connected to the family
have collected nearly $100 million
from city-related contracts during
Daley’s mayoral tenure, thanks to
clout and the largess created by
privatization of municipal ser-
vices.
Privatization has been crucial to
Daley’s effort to forge a national
reputation as a progressive, no-
nonsense administrator. But many
of the mayor's "good government"*
programs, Cram towing abandoned
cars to resurfacing streets, have
also provided lucrative deals for
Daley’s friends and political allies
while reducing public scrutiny of
city services.
The Duff family fortunes have
been cultivated by patriarch John
Duff Jr., a savvy former union
boss and charming barroom com-
panion. Duff, 74, was known for
singing through the night In a
South Florida tavern and presid-
ing over a legendary Christmas
party at the Como Inn, where
bands and guests overflowed into
the corridors of the popular Near
West Side restaurant.
Duff also is known for his con-
nections to organized crime.
In 1960, Duff was a city investi-
gator, tavern keeper and union
official when he testified on behalf
of mob boss Anthony “Big Tuna"
Accardo, who faced income-tax
fraud charges. Duffs testimony
that he purchased beer from
Accardo helped the mobster’s

In 1993, the city questioned R.E.M.’s viability. But 'since 1995, it has collected $36 million from city contracts.

On April 18, 1996, Windy City
Maintenance submitted a proposal to
clean the facilities and it was the fourth
lowest among the finalists. The agency,
however, asked the firms to clarify their
proposals, which were resubmitted.
Windy City comes out on top
When the new proposals were submitted
on April 29, 1996, Windy City

while the other bids had increased. It won

defense, but it ended -up costing
Duff. his city post when his super*,
yisors learned he was holding

‘ Two decades later, Duff was 1
secretly recorded by* federal!
authorities bragging about his i
friendship with mob bosses
Anthony Spilotro and Frank Buc-
cieri. And. in 1982, Duff pleaded
guilty to federal charges of embez-
zling union funds in Chicago and
Detroit and began Serving 17
months in prisons .V>!
.1 Duffs sons grew up “in Oak Park ‘
and'have followed their father .into'
business and organized labor.
Patrick Duff 45, is now president
of Local 3 of the Liquor . 'and Wine
Sales Representatives, Tire, Plastic
and Allied Workers Union. James ..
Duff 41, runs the family 'companies ’
w ith help from ms orothef i! ~~ ■
t~Only John Duff m, 47, a Local 3
executive, has been associated with
organized crime iike his father. He
testified in 1992 that mob boss
Ernest Rocco Infelice gave .him a
break on a gambling debt, and he
boasted about his organized-crime
ties when he was arrested in
Miami Beach in 1993 for threaten-
ing *to kill a police officer, charges
’that were later dismissed.
; Along with his father, John Duff
EH was investigated by the FBI for
■allegedly running an illegal gam-
bling operation in South Florida in
.1994 with mobsters, including at
;least one member of New York’s
Gambino crime family, according
to court records. The investigation
fell ‘apart because the lead FBI
agent undermined the probe to
cover his own gambling problem.
The 'agent was later convicted and
• sentenced to 5 years in prison; no
one else was charged. :
Oyer. the years, ZDuff^family “\
members have held mtvleast two :
fundraisers for .Daley,* 1 including a *
February breakfast . buffet .where
the'mayor * and Patrick : :Duff went ;
from table to table to.greet guests,. **.
according to -several 'people at the
event * - • . .*■"*■'*.'•*
1 The Duffs have provided work-
.ers * on Election Day for Daley-
backed candidates, and among the
family members, the union and die ^
businesses, the Duffs 'have contnb- ^
uted about $32,000 to ‘Daley’s cam^
■paigns. ■■ • • ’
- For their part, Daley and his .
! aides have quietly turned; the 'Duffs '
‘into significant players’ iri' the com-
. petition for lucrative contracts at
■City Hall and city-related agencies. '
' The Duffs, through an attorney, ■
• declined to comment ; . ' 1 . ‘ .• . •
; : Daley also declined an interview,
but his ■ spokeswoman, . Jacquelyn
■Heard, dismissed claims that Daley *
.steered business to the Duffs or
aided their city business in any
" . , • , * .
way. * • .
‘There is absolutely nothing to j
‘substantiate that claim that this i
business was gotten at the behest .
of the mayor,” she said. “There are
rules that govern the awarding of
contracts, and the City of Chicago
. abides by those ” ■ .
. A new company thrives
* * ■
■
• »
Soon after he was elected to
office in 1989, Daley allegedly ‘
instructed a top staff member, the
late Kathy Osterman, to .make
sure that the Duffs got a share of '
city work. •" • ‘ :
-AWhen Kathy' became special
events director, there were certain
people who were recommended -to
her by Daley that she should do
’ business with,” said her widower,
Bruce DuMont, president of the
Museum of Broadcast Communi-
cations. “The Duffs were, among
the coterie of people she was sup-
posed to do* business with.
. *-*My impression from talking to
Kathy was that the mayor and
. MriDuff were longtime friends,”
DuMont said, referring to the
eldest Duff.
-The Mayor’s Office of Special
Events handed Windy City Main-
tenance a no-bid contract in 1990
to clean up after Taste of Chicago,
setting the stage for the Duff fam-
ily, to begin profiting from munici-
pal, business under the new
mayor.
“'The contract, which the com-
pany has held ever since, now
covers all the major festivals at
Grant Park and the Air and
Water Show. \
* The special events office pays
Windy City Maintenance more
than $500,000 a year.
'•The deal was made possible by
a change to an ordinance that had
previously allowed the special
events director to save time by
negotiating contracts directly with
entertainers and food vendors
without bidding. In 1990, the ordi-
nance was changed to include jan-
itorial contracts too.

Estate records;* however,* show v y
■ that' the : company was incorpo-' 7 -
-rated by James Duff, a month . y
after .Daley was- elected mayor.
Based on interviews with people ' 7
familiar with Windy 'City’s opera-
tions, the company really is run
by James Duff and to a lesser
extent his two brothers. ’ ,
“I have seen Patricia Green
twice, and I worked at Windy .City ’
from 1990 to 1996,” said Kenny *
Bledsoe, a former supervisor' for
the company. “I have never spo-
ken to her.”
■ Bledsoe, a plaintiff in a federal
class-action lawsuit against Windy
City Maintenance, said his bosses '
were James and Patrick Duff) he
also had dealings with John Duff .
III. The lawsuit, which alleged
racial discrimination, was settled
last month. ** ■ v-
. Bledsoe’s observation was ech-
oed by James Reilly, former chief .
executive officer at the Metropoli-
tan Pier and Exposition Author-
ity, the government agency that
oversees McCormick Place and .
‘Navy Pier. Reilly said he dealt
'with James Duff at Windy City.
■ And Rod Bashir, a vice presi-
dent of Local 1 of the Service
Employees International Union,
also said he talks to Patrick Duff
when there are union matters
involving windy City.
The Duff, men have shared in
Windy CityJp profits too. In 1995,
according to sources who
reviewed payroll records, the com-
pany paid Patricia Green Duff
$322,000, her husband* $346,000 and
James Duff $118,000. A year later,
Patrick Duff was paid $254,000 by
Windy City .Maintenance, the
sources said. ...
Still, Windy City’s status as a
woman-owned business has
allowed the company to cash in
on city policies that require city
contractors to share a portion of
their payday with women and
minorities.. Under the city’s
affirmative-action policies, 25 per-
cent of city work is supposed to
'be awarded to firms owned by
women or racial minorities; as a
result, city 'contractors typically
hire these firms as subcontrac-
tors.
To be certified, a company must
be more than h an r owned by
women or minorities, and they
also must run the day : to-day oper-
ations of the company. The certifi-
cations are reviewed annually.

The city stamp of approval
Windy City.' Maintenance’s '
application for womans) wned sta- ■
tus sailed through the city’s
approval process in less than two
months, even though city officials ‘
said the process usually takes*
.three times that long.
Everything seemed to be in
order when a city compliance offi-
cer stopped by Windy ’City Main-
tenance’s offices and found Patri-
cia Green “busy on tfie phone
doing sales/* according^ to city
records.
But the records also suggest
that the visit may not have been a
surprise, as is supposed to be the
case. The day before, James Duff
called city officials to ask what
documents he would need to sup-
ply when the compliance officer
visited the office, records show.
City officials could not recall
whether Windy City Maintenance
got advance warning about the
visit t
When Tribune reporters visited
.Windy City Maintenance one
morning last week, looking for
Patricia Green, sSreceptionist said
she had just stepped out. Janies
Duff was busy in\a meeting. And
John Duff Jr., who was walking
into the office as the reporters
left, declined to answer questions

ness on Oct l, 1991 , on the same

More Rubious claims
.The .minority .certification
■ request by Remedial Environmen-
tal Manpower,* another Duff com- •
pany, did not go sq smoothly.
\ R.E.M., as -the company is
known, 'was formed in 1988 by
Patricia Green and William Strat-
ton, now 58, who is African-Amer-
ican.' Stratton worked for the
Duffs’ union as far back as 1978 1
and has been a director of Windy ,
City Maintenance. ‘
'By the time the company
applied for its minority certifica- ;
tion in 1993, Stratton owned 55 I
percent of the company, and the' !
other ‘45 percent was owned by *|
Ellen Niemeier . according to--!
records the company submitted to
the city. Niemeier i s the maiden
name of Ellen pun, James Duffs
wife. • . . -
*« *
' City officials turned down
R.E.M/S initial application, saying
in a September -1993 letter that
Stratton “appears to be substan-
tially reliant -on James Duff/* in
part because the company shared
its employees and ,office space
with Duff-controlled companies,
including Windy City Mainte-
nance and Windy City Labor, a
'day-labor service.
Also, *R.E.M/s references said
they had never heard of Stratton
and had dealt instead with, James
Duff or others.
R.EM. finally won certification
in 1994 after Stratton assured the
city that, he owned the entire com-
pany. City officials said they lost
documents explaining why the
company ; s minority certification
was approved.
But the next year, when R.E.M.
sought to renew its minority-
owned status, some city officials
questioned whether it was really
run by Stratton and recommended
that its certification be denied.
The recommendation, however,
was overruled by top Purchasing
Department officials.
Troy Ratliff, a deputy purchas-
ing agent for the city, said he rec-* *.
ommended that RJEJVL’s certifica- *
tion.be approved because the ;
Duffs had moved their businesses *
■ to another office, leaving R.EM. to *
v operate on its own.
*But the Tribune found that
R.E.M. is hardly independent of •
the Duffs. - • ■;
Although Windy City Mainte-: ‘
nance moved into a rehabbed*
building several blocks away from
R.E.M/S office -at Lake and Hal-- *;
sted Streets,, another Duff com- *
pahy, Windy City Labor, contin- *
ues to operate from the Halsted •
Street location. * . .
On a recent Thursday morning,- *■
men began trickling into .the !
R-EM. office about 5 a.m. seeking *
day jobs from Windy City Labor. \
One of them said he had sought J
work there on several occasions *
and been paid with checks from *’
Windy City Labor. ,
And R.E.M/S office is located in - j
a building'that is owned or leased J
by .the Duff Family Trust, accord- t
ing to county property records. '

fined to City HalL In 1996, Windy
City Maintenance won its biggest
public contract, at the Metropoli- ‘
tan Pier and Exposition Author-
ity. Half of the authority’s board
members are selected by the
mayor of Chicago, the other half
by the governor.
' The contract came, after the
authority decided to replace its
own cleaning staff with a private '
company, following a trend *
embraced by. Daley to privatize
government services as a cost-cut-
ting measure. But authority offi-
cials struggle to this day to !

nance won the business. ■ * * --
* Among the finalists for the con :
tract in -April 1996, three submit-
ted bids lower than Windy City’s. ;
But the proposals were revised a ■
few days later, after authority offi-
cials' met separately with each of
the finalists and asked for new !
estimates. :
m
• All the new proposals contained
higher^ numbers except for one:
'Windy "City Maintenance. The'
firm’s new bid of $6.8 million was
actually $1.3 million lower than its
original offer, and Windy City
was awarded a five-year contract
to clean McCormick Place and ’
Navy Pier.
Nevertheless, Windy City Main-
tenance's first-year bill was a
whopping $10.6 million— nearly $4
million more than its winning
proposal. About a quarter of what
Windy City Maintenance gets
under the contract goes, to minor-
ity subcontractors, authority doc-
uments show.
Authority spokesman John
Torre said some of the extra cost
resulted from an unexpected delay
in a plan to require exhibitors to
clean the floors during trade’
shows. Windy City Maintenance
also was paid for additional land;
scaping work, he said.
“Ultimately, the bottom line
here was cost savings,” he said.
As for how Windy City Mainte; *
nance won the business in the'
first place, Torre couldn’t explain
why the company .was able to ;
lower its second proposal while
the other finalists had to raise }
their bids. :

DuMont is president of the Museum of

Ooops. I almost forgot other city contracts.
■ Like the one to clean the 911 Center, where all

Daley put his arm around one of the Duffs with

table, saying hello to his supporters.
The table walk was Daley’s message; And

some political players how long it took to send
that message across the state.
“How long does it take to pick up a cell

Duffs’ liquor
concerns
•V— ft
a mismatch
By Laurie Cohen, Ray Gibson
and Andrew Martin
Tribune Staff Writers
The politically influential Duff
family, at the center of a contro-
versy involving $100 million in
city-related contracts, runs a day-
labor company that allegedly,
undermines members of the’
■
union the family also controls.
Through Windy City Labor
Service, the Duffs have allegedly
been supplying nonunion work-
ers to liquor distributors even
though the family also runs the
Liquor and Wine Sales Represen-
tatives, Tire, Plastic and Allied
Workers Union Local 3.
In recent interviews, homeless
men and other laborers have told
the Tribune that they were hired
by Windy City to work in the
liquor industry. For instance,
James McCrae said two years
ago he was unemployed and
homeless when Windy City
Labor sent him to one of the
city’s main liquor distributors,
where he helped load alcohol
onto trucks for delivery to stores,
among other tasks. "We’re basi-
cally muscle,” McCrae said.
And union officials represent-
ing truck drivers who deliver the
liquor to stores said in inter-
views that Windy City laborers
have been replacing virtually all
of the Local 3 union workers
who loaded trucks at Pacific
Wine & Spirits in Chicago, one
of the city’s major distributors of
alcoholic beverages.
Former employees and indus-
try insiders said the jobs pro-
vided by the temporary workers
represent a conflict of interest for
the Duff family, since day labor-
ers are doing some of the same
jobs normally handled by mem-
bers of the union the Duffs con-
trol
Legal experts said the liquor
distributors’ use of temporary
workers could be a violation of
national labor laws if Local 3’s
contracts require that only full-
time union-represented workers
be employed. Past contracts, dat-
ing back to the early 1980s have
induded such provisions, but the
current contracts are not avail-
able for public review.
The Duff family, through its
attorney, declined to comment,
and an attorney for Local , 3
didn’t return phone calls. The
union had 1,387 members at the
end of 1997, the most recent fig- ,
ures available.
The Tribune revealed Sunday
that companies tied to the Duffs,
including Windy City Mainte-
nance, have made about $100 mil-
lion from city-related business in
the decade since Mayor Richard
M. Daley has been in office. The
family, which includes members
who have been tied to organized
crime, has raised money for the
mayor’s campaigns and has pro-
vided workers to campaign for
Daley and Daley-backed candi-
dates.
The Duffs* dealings with City
Hall illustrate how the family has
used political clout to further its
business interests over the last
decade, but the family can trace

its power in organized labor back
at least 40 years.
In 1960, John Duff Jr., was an
official for the Retail Liquor Sales-
mens Local 162 when he testified
on behalf of then mob-boss
Anthony “Big Tuna” Accardo
when Accardo was on trial.
Duff later became a vice presi-
dent of the Allied Distillery and
Wine Workers International
Union and an official of the
union’s Chicago affiliate, Local 3.
In 1982, Duff, 74, began serving
17 months in prison for embez-
zling union funds. His sons have
run the union ever since.
Patrick Duff is Local 3’s
$99,500-a-year president, and John
Duff III is the $97,000-a-year
secretary/treasurer, according to
federal Labor Department records
from 1998, the most recent year
available. Duff’s third son, James,
a former unpaid union vice presi-
dent, was paid a total of $107,500
as an employee of one of the
union’s pension funds in 1995 and
1996, federal records show.
John Duff III is facing internal
union charges that he was a ghost
payroller at the Hotel Employees
and Restaurant Employees Inter-
national Union. Following the
charge, he resigned as an
employee of the union, where he
was paid $35,000 a year from 1990
to 1996.
A federal monitor hired to fer-

ret out union corruption said in a
report last year that Duff “pel>
formed no meaningful service for
the (union) for a substantial
period of his employment’* and
that Duff “knowingly associated
with” associates of organized
crime.
Federal authorities are investigat-
ing whether John Duff HTs alleged
ghost payrolling represented an
embezzlement of hotel union funds,
according to federal sources.
The alleged conflict between the
Duffs’ business and Local 3 was
detailed as far back as 1990, in a
federal lawsuit filed by James
Williams, a former employee at
Romano Brothers Beverage and
onetime member of Local 3.
“(The union leaders) were in
bed together with the company,
saving the company a tremendous
amount of money in insurance
and overtime wages,” Williams
said in an recent interview.
The lawsuit also questioned the
role of Windy City Labor’s presi-
dent, Patricia Green, who is mar-
ried to John Duff Jr. The lawsuit
alleged that Green used her
maiden name to hide the interests
of her sons, Patrick and John III,
who allegedly ran the company. *'
Williams alleged in his lawsuit
that the union failed to adequately
represent him in a grievance
against Romano Brothers, citing
the Duffs’ business dealings with
Romano as an example of an
ongoing conflict of interest. A fed-
eral judge dismissed the case, rul-
ing that the alleged conflict had
no bearing on his dispute with
the company.
Told about the Duffs’ business
and union dealings, Mark
Spognardi, an attorney, at
McBride Baker & Coles specialize
ing in labor law, said, “If Wind}'
* City is controlled by union offi-
cials, it’s doing the exact opposite
of what good unionism is. It
would be like a doctor selling cig-
arettes:”
Officials at Judge & Dolph,
Romano Brothers and Pacific 1
Wine and Spirits didn’t return

Mayor in sand trap
overlong-planned
Duff-Daley golf outing
H ey Chicago, grab your golf bags.
There's a big party coming up. And
you won't- want to miss it.
The Men of the Year labor union
golf outing is scheduled for Sept. 10 at
the Bloomingdale Golf Club. It will honor two
of Chicago’s prominent families — who now pre-
tend they don’t know each other.
t -
The Daleys and the Duffs.
Daley spent all last week screeching that he
doesn’t know the Duffs, Now, it turns out, this
party has been planned for weeks. ♦
I've never golfed in my life, but I’m going.
I’ve got an invitation, and the event has been
confirmed by the golf club and sponsoring
unions.
Guess who the Men of the Year are this year?
Mayor Richard Daley’s little brother, John
Daley, the Cook County Commissioner. And
Pat Duff, president of Distillery Workers Local
No. 3.
Just imagine John Daley, the son-in-law of
the late Loop gambling boss Louie Briatta,
standing next to Pat Duff, whose family mem-
bers boast of ties to mobsters like Rocco Infe-
lice, the late Fill Buccieri and the extremely
late Big Tuna.
I sure hope they’re joking about those “shot-
gun tee-offs.”
v "Oh God, you know about the Duff-Daley golf
outing?” a top labor guy asked me while the
mayor was denying he knows the Duffs. “Great
Riming, isn’t it?”
* I asked whether union bosses would dare
>plan the event honoring John Daley and Pat
'Duff without first getting approval from Little
Big Man himself.
“Of course not. But this was before that stuff
about the Duffs and the mayor hit in your
paper,” the labor official said, “If they go ahead
with it, it’ll look stupid. If they cancel it, they’ll
look like they're hiding something. You’re
enjoying this, right?”

Me? Oh, no.
Mayor Daley should show up to support his
brother. And U.S. Commerce Secretary William
Daley, who also knows the Duffs, should play
too.
Daley made sure his pals the Duffs wet their
beaks with $100 million of your money in
kinky city contracts that were given to phony
minority front companies. Now the mayor says
he doesn’t know them.
“I don’t know them personally. I don’t,” Daley
said as he laughed off the Tribune investigation
during a radio interview. “I know a lot of peo-
ple as mayor, just walking into this room, I met
five, six people.”
Hey, Rich, you might want to change your
story.
The Daley-Duff golf outing is being put on by
the Greater Chicago and Vicinity Port Council
Maritime Trades. The organization is run by
John Phelan, also the boss of the building engi-
neers. I called Phelan’s office to ask if I could
sponsor a few holes.
“That would be nice,” said a woman on the
phone. “We’ll have somebody call you on Mon-
day morning. What’s your name again?”
While we’re waiting for the call, why don’t
^we dream up sponsorships just for fantasy’s
vsake— to make the Daley-Duff golf outing a
•memorable event.

IJoey “The Clown” Lombardo and hire a few

hand out fake Cuban cigars, like he did at his
wedding.

And what about another hole, “The Grzyb

contracts, City Purchasing Agent A1 Grzyb. He
can stand there with his good friend, former
Streets and San boss Eileen Carey. fbi/doj

If you get a hole in* one, Grzyb will deliver a
smashed-up black city Caprice to your door by
7 a.m. the next day. But the contract for the
city car will disappear, just like the Duffs* con-
tracts.
Sam Banks and his brother, Aid.
William Banks (36th), could host another hole
serving prosciutto and provolone sandwiches.’
But don t worry about leaving a mess on the
putting green. Sam will have a dozen judges on
their hands and knees, picking up the crumbs.
Another hole could be “The Bill Hanhardt
Hole, for the former chief of detectives now
under investigation by the feds. If you keep
expensive jewelry in your golf bags, your stuff
will disappear. Later, you can ask the clowns
about your missing diamonds.

Mayor huffs
and bluffs over
guff about Duffs
T o all you duffers out there, I've got
some sad news to report about some
high-profile political “links.”
Mayor Richard Daley said
Wednesday that he will not, repeat,
will not attend the big upcoming labor union
golf outing to honor the Daleys and the Duffs.
We were hoping he’d show up and put his
arm around the Duffs' shoulders — -just as he
does at the Duffs’ wild Christmas parties at
the Como Inn and at fundraisers.
Now he hardly knows them. The Duffs are
mere acquaintances who just happened to get
$100 million in city contracts that were
supposed to go to minorities and women — not
clout-heavy white guys.
“I only go to one golf outing, the Valentine
Boys and Girls Club. That’s all I go to, one a
year,” Daley told reporters, saying he wasn’t
attending the Duff-Daley outing. “T get invited
to 300 golf outings a year I don’t go. I bike
ride on Mondays. I don’t go to golf outings. I
stopped it a number of years ago— about 6 or
7 years ago. I bike on Mondays. I go to one
(golf outing). I go every year. This year I am
playing with my daughter. I think she will
beat me, too.”
He said he can’t attend because he’s biking
on Mondays. But the Daley-Duff golf outing is
on Friday Sept. 10. Mayor, please get q new
calendar. The mayor’s brother. Cook County
Commissioner John Daley, and liquor
workers union boss Pat Duff are the honorees
at the union bash at the
Bloomingdale Golf
Club. •
As for that Valentine
Boys and Girls Club
golf outing? It’s
sponsored by Mike .
Tadin, the Marina
Cartage trucking boss
who gets millions and
millions from the city
and gave former Aid.
Patrick Huels (11th)
that $1.2 million “loan.”

Tadin is another close
friend of the mayor’s-
who’s gorged himself at
the public trough.
Daley was also
aggravated Wednesday
by questions on the
wiseguy issue. Some of the Duffs have clean
police records. But others boast.of their •
friendship to organized crime bosses.
Reporters were asking the usual Question:
How could he give $100 million in* city , r
business to people who have ties to big-time*
Mafia chiefs?
“Don’t ask me,” he said. “I am the mayor of
the city of Chicago.”
He was truly edgy about the golf outing. So
he mentioned Misericordia Heart of Mercy,
which is supposed to get a donation after
expenses from the Daley-Duff golf outing.
Misericordia is a great organization that
helps developmentally disabled children and
adults. The group is always in need of money
to help people. But the mayor used those
children as a political shield to cover his
alliance with the Duffs.
“My brother is very honored and pleased
that the proceeds go to the Misericordia.
Misericordia is a home for children and
adults who are retarded If you don’t like
that, so what What’s wrong with that?” he
asked.
In other words, you question the golf
outing, you question the children at
Misericordia. What a disgustingly cheap
political-trick.
The Daley-Duff golf tickets, including lunch,
cost $55. The invitation says any “profits” will
go to Misericordia, after expenses. And the
unions and golf club declined to return
repeated phone calls about expenses.
“Golf costs about $40 per person, hot
including 8 bucks for lunch and prizes,” said
a friend who understands fundraisers and
golf outings. “So what will Misericordia get?
19 cents?”
Now that the mayor decided to use
Misericordia to excuse the Daley-Duff golf
fest, you should know what his City Hall did
* to Misericordia a few weeks ago.
Daley's Law Department made a ruling that
cost the children at Misericordia some real
charity money— in the $100,000 range.
City Hall lawyers stopped a decades-long
tradition at city firehouses. It was a great
tradition to help disabled kids. And you didn’t
need golf clubs or political connections or
wiseguy friends.
All you needed was a heart.
Once a year, firefighters would fan out in
the neighborhoods and hold a “fill the hat"
day for Misericordia. They’d also hold a “fill
the boot” day for the Muscular Dystrophy -
Association.
Last August, Chicago firefighters raised
$76,000 for the MDA in an afternoon. They
raised a similar amount -for Misericordia too.
No more.
This is the closest thing to a job action our
guys will come to," said a furious Bill
Kugelman, president of the Chicago Fire
Fighters Union. “The city doesn't care about
disabled kids, but your average Chicago
firefighter does."
So City Hall doesn’t want firefighters in a
charity drive. But it’s OK to run a $100
million charity for the Duffs. ‘
And Daley thinks it’s OK to use
Misericordia as a public relations cover for
his political associations with the Duffs.
If you’d like-to donate to
Misericordia— without honoring City Hall’s
kinky politics— you can send a check to
Misericordia Heart of Mercy, 6300 N. Ridee
Ave„ Chicago, IL, 60660.
The kids at Misericordia don’t -care if you
have clout.

Minority deals
face new review
By Gaiy Washburn
Tribune Staff Writer
In what appeared to be a pre-
emptive move to blunt. criticism
of lucrative city contracts
awarded to controversial compa-
nies with ties to Mayor Richard
Daley, the mayor Wednesday
- - - T ._ _
unveiled plans to beef up scru-
tiny of firms that get favored
treatment by claiming to be
owned by women or minorities.
The announcement came as
mayoral aides prepared to re-
lease results of an internal probe
into two city contractors— one
purportedly operated by a
woman, the other by an African-
American— that the Tribune re-
ported earlier this year were con-
trolled by the white male mem-
bers of the politically connected
and mob-linked Duff family.
= »
Daley and other officials who ,
spoke at a City Hall news confer- i
ence where the new initiative
was announced declined to com- i
ment on the Duff investigation,
which has been under way since
the Tribune report in July.
The mayor would say only
that a report will be issued
“very shortly.”
But when asked* about “front” |
companies that wrongfully reap
the rewards of the city's affir* i
mative action programs, Daley
acknowledged problems.
“There always have been diffi-
culties,” he said, adding that the
state and federal governments
and the private sector have had
similar troubles. “I always
amend and change things. Any
problems ... we are going to
correct”
In a 1997 attempt to amend
things on another issue, Daley
rolled out sweeping ethics and
public disclosure measures after
the discovery that his City Coun-
cil floor leader, Aid. Patrick
Huels (llth), had accepted a
business loan from a contractors
whom he had helped win a ci^
grant
Daley said Wednesday he

Daley: The mayor announces plans to
more closely monitor firms that win contracts
by claiming woman- or minority-owned status.
Continued from Page 1
operated by a female member of
the Duff family, or Remedial
Environmental Manpower, a firm
supposedly controlled by an
African-American man that has
gotten a lucrative subcontract on
the city’s Blue Bag recycling pro-
gram.
The patriarch of the Duff fam-
ily is John Duff Jr., a former
union boss with ties to organized
crime. Two of his sons, one of
them with his own alleged ties to
the mob, also have been active in
family businesses, the Tribune
investigation found.
Members of the Duff family and
enterprises they control have con-
tributed more than $30,000 to
Daley’s political coffers, and the
Duffs hosted at least two Daley
fundraisers, including a breakfast
last February attended by the
mayor.
The Duffs also have provided
Election Day workers for Daley-
backed candidates.
Providing city contracts for
minority- and woman-owned com-
panies is a cornerstone of Daley’s
affirmative action program, and
any hint of irregularities brings
with it the threat of political dam-
age, especially in the African-
American community.
Daley’s personal ties to the
Duffs make the Windy City and
Remedial Environmental Man-
power contracts particularly sen-
sitive.
The new monitoring effort is
designed to “ensure consistency,”
the mayor said.
It will be headed by Nancy
Clawson, currently chief financial
officer of the city’s Aviation
Department.
Eric McMiller, now a Budget
Department official, will have
responsibility to certify new com-
panies as minority- or woman-
owned.
“I have asked Eric to review
the documentation we now
require of companies with an eye
toward clarifying any ambiguous
disclosure requirements,” Daley
said.
Currently, after a firm wins
certification, its only requirement
is to file annual affidavits to
ensure that ownership and other
aspects of the business have not
changed.
“That’s the process used by
most other cities, but we feel it
should be strengthened,” Daley
said. “So we are modifying the
process to require a rigorous
review every two years.”
The review “will include more
extensive documentation, site vis-
its and interviews with officers of
the firm, their clients and other
contacts.”
Troy Ratliff, a senior Purchas-
ing Department official — who
until Wednesday’s news confer-
ence had been in charge of certi-
fying minority- and woman-
owned companies — said the mon-
itoring process “has to be more
than a document review. There
have to be on-site visits, conver-
sations with people in the indus-
try. A lot of information comes
from the competition out there.”
Officials said plans also call for
more extensive monitoring of city
contracts that require at least 50
percent of the workers on the job
be Chicago residents.
“The kind of enforcement they
are talking about would prevent
[Duff-type contracts] from reoc-
curring in this city’s history,”
said Aid. Freddrenna Lyle (6th).
One front company “is too
many,” she said.
“That means some qualified
person didn’t get the business.”
lL
Daley’s announcement cfme
with the unveiling of a separate
program designed to nurture and
recruit firms owned by women
and minorities— particularly
African-Americans— to do busi-
ness with the city.
Daley appointed city Treasurer
Barbara Lumpkin to head a task
force that will determine thefrest
ways to bring in new firms.- Rat-
liff will implement the task
force’s recommendations. ■
Administration officials say the
city routinely surpasses its’
annual goal of providing S^'er*
cent of all contracts to womdn*
owned firms and 25 perceMrto
companies owned by minorities.
But several black alderrtiip, :
including Lyle, complained dur-
ing fall City Council budget hir-
ings that African- American ;cbn-
tractors are receiving faf boo
small a portion of the miiicrilty
ft M *
total. 7^
Only 9 percent of $1.3 billiplt/in 1
pacts awarded by the e city
through September had gone, to
black-owned firms.
“That is a concern we hhve,”
Daley said. “I think the pobfctof
contractors] has to be expanded
in some way.”
There is a perception among
many African-American srirall-
business people “that it rsrso
much trouble to get certified;^ is
not worth the effort,” Lyle said:;
“Also, historically, the city has
paid very slowly on vouchers,
and many people don’t think mey
have the wherewithal to maintain
overhead expenses waitinj^for
the city to pay.” ^
Difficulty in obtaining required
performance bonds has been a
problem, particularly for Afpii^n-
American cpnstruction firms,
Lyle said. i ^ ’
“Some businesses mayhnot
know how to get certified/’ Daley
said. “Others may need help „ in
building a company that is able
to do the specialized work^rce
sometimes require.” .
Lumpkin’s task force will make
its recommendations in 90 days,
Daley said.

Woman not owner, study confirms
By Andrew Martin
and Laurie Cohen
Tribune Staff Writers
After a five-month investiga-
tion, pity of Chicago officials on
Friday announced that a politi-
cally connected janitorial com-
pany that has reaped tens of
millions of dollars as a woman-
owned business is actually run
by men.
Because of those findings,
Corporation Counsel Mara
Georges said Windy City Main-
tenance has been decertified as
a woman-owned business enter-
prise, a designation that allows
companies to cash in on policies
mandating that women and
minorities receive a chunk of
city business.
The decision promises to cost
Windy City at least $1 million a
year in city contracts and could
jeopardize up to $4.8 million a
<?■ i
year that the firm is eligible for" j
as a subcontractor on city
projects. ■
Mayor Richard M. Daley |
ordered the probe in the wake
of a Tribune investigation that
disclosed that Windy City Main-
tenance was actually controlled
by John F. Duff Jr. and his
sons. They have held fundrais-
ers for the mayor and provided
campaign workers for Daley-
backed candidates. The elder
Duff and one of his sons also
have been linked to organized
crime figures.
The Tribune investigation
also raised questions about a ;
second company tied to the
Duffs, Remedial Environmental
Manpower, that is listed in city
documents as, being owned and
operated by William Stratton,
an African-American man. On

mote than one occasion over sev-
eral years, city staffers had balked
at Remedial Environmental Man-
power’s minority-owned certifica-
tion, saying that the company not
only shared office space with other
Duff-owned companies but also
appeared to be controlled by James
Duff, a son of John Duff Jr.
On Friday, however, Georges
said the city concluded that Reme-
dial Environmental Manpower,
which provides workers to sort
garbage for the city’s blue bag
recycling program, is in fact owned
and operated by Stratton.
After the news conference, nei-
ther the Duffs nor their attorney
could be reached fqr comment
Daley did not attend Friday’s
Duff briefing but was asked to
comment later at a news confer-
ence at McCormick Place, which
he called to tout the city’s gala mil-
lennium celebration.
“Not today, I can’t,” Daley
responded. . . I think appropri-
ately I’ll be answering all those
questions in the next week. There’s
enough time to digest the summary
and the repdrt” v
The city’s probe into the Duffs
was particularly sensitive for Daley
because of the family’s mob ties
and its alleged abuse of female and
minority set-aside rules.
Daley waited: to release the find-
ings until the day before a major
holiday when most people, were
consumed by news of potential
Y2K computer troubles arid millen-
nium celebrations.
Despite the city’s findings that
Windy City is now run by men,
Georges said the firm was indeed
owned and controlled by a woman
named Patricia Green when it ini- \
tially applied for certification as a \
woman-owned business in 1991.
And Georges said no evidence was
found that the firm had lied on ,
paperwork filed with the city since j
then to obtain annual recertifica-
tion.
But records show that as
recently as May, the company
stated in its annual recertification
application that Green— who is the
wife of John Duff Jr. and whose
married name is Patricia Green
Duff— owned Windy City Mainte-
nance and controlled it on a day-to- i
day basis. Patricia Green is her j
maiden name. [
Asked to explain the. apparent
contradiction, Georges said she t
found no evidence of fraud because
company officials “believe” that the !
firm fits the definition of a woman-
owned business even if others dis- <
agree.
“There is no evidence of ah affir- j
mative action by them to engage in ;
deception,” Georges said. “. . . They j
would say Patricia Green is still j
consulted on all matters.”
Nevertheless, the automated tele- j
phone directory that connects call-
ers to Windy City with employees
of the firm includes no listing for
either a Patricia Green or a Patri- i
cia Green Duff.
Under city law, a firm that ;
fraudulently claims to be owned by j
a woman or minority could be
barred for three years from receiv- j
ing more city business. {
Georges said the investigation is
over and that Windy City would j
not be fined or punished in any i
other way. However, she said the i
city’s inspector general is looking
into Windy City, though she did
not elaborate. Inspector General
Alexander Vroustouris could not j
be reached for comment. ;
r - - - - -
- Georges said Green ran the com-
pany when it initially applied for
woman-owned certification in 1991
but eventually she ceded control in
.part because of health problems.
^Georges said the transfer of control
hvas an “evolving process” and that
fthe investigation did not pinpoint
fwhen Green stopped running
Windy City Maintenance.
During the investigation. Windy
City Maintenance notified the city
that it would voluntarily withdraw
its application as a woman-owned
j business, Georges said. That’s
because the company obtained
financial records that showed Its
annual revenue firom both city and
other contracts exceeded $17 mil-
lion— putting it over the financial
j threshold to be eligible for woman-
j owned business perks, Georges
I explained.
Sometime after that, Georges
! said, the city determined on its
own that Green no longer con-
trolled the company and decided to
decertify the company as a woman-
1 owned business.
Georges said the city did not
determine problems With Windy
I City Maintenance’s status sooner
j because of flaws in the annual pro-
i cess under which companies are
j recertified as woman- or minority-
owned. On Wednesday, the city
said it would beef up those proce-
; dures, which essentially had
allowed such companies to operate
; on the honor system.
Being designated a woman- or
I minority-owned business gives
j companies an important advantage.
Under the city’s affirmative action
I policies, 25 percent of city work is
, supposed to be awarded to firms
owned by minorities and 5 percent
is supposed to go to woman-owned
firms; as a result, city contractors
scramble to hire these firms as
subcontractors.
The immediate impact of Windy
City decertification is the loss of $1
million in janitorial contracts at
the 911 Center on the Near West
Side and another at the Calumet
Area police headquarters.
Windy City also could lose two
lucrative jobs where the company
is listed as a woman-owned sub-
contractor— a $1.8 million-a-year
janitorial subcontract at the Harold”
Washington Library and a $3
million-a-year cleaning job at the
International Terminal at O’Hare.
International Airport, Georges said.
Neither the city contractor who
maintains the library nor the con-
tractor who manages the Interna-
tional Terminal could be located i
for comment Friday.
Windy City also holds an ’even
more lucrative contract worth
about $9 million a year with the
Metropolitan Pier and Exposition j
Authority, a city-state agency that )
runs Navy Pier and McCormick j
Place. On Friday, a spokesman for j
the authority said that it would
review the city’s findings and take 1
steps to ensure that Windy City
fulfills requirements for agency
business that is set aside for
women-owned firms.

The city’s Duff inquiry was con- j

worked part-time on the inquiry;
and who conducted “more than 29 *

Tribune Staff Writers
City officials granted billions
of dollars in special contracts
reserved for minorities to firms
that, said they Were run by
women and minorities without
checking whether the businesses
had changed management after
being approved for the program^
Daley administration officials
acknowledge.
When firms receiving lucrative
city contracts under the contro-
versial minority set-aside pro-
gram applied for their required
annual recertification, Chicago
officials routinely did not visit
them to determine who con-
trolled the companies. Nor, by
and large, did officials check ref-
erences provided by the firms.
Instead, city officials oversee-'
ing the recertification process
have relied mainly on the firms*
word as to who owned and con-
trolled them. Such firms re-
ceived billions of dollars in city
business during the past 15
years, and at least $388 million,
in city contracts in the first
nine months of 1999 alone,
according to city figures.
City A pfficials say their hands-
off arrangement ended abruptly
last week when they announced
an overhaul of the recertifica-
tion process. The reform plan
was made public after aides to
Mayor Richard Daley learned
that a five-month city Law
Department Investigation into
Windy City Maintenance would
be embarrassing.
For eight years, Windy City, a
politically connected company
with ties to Daley, reaped tens of
millions of dollars in city janito-
rial business by asserting that it
was run by an experienced busi-
nesswoman, Patricia Green.
On Friday, the city’s top law-
yer said the Law Department’s
lengthy investigation showed it
wasn’t. Windy City and two
other firms run by the m§b^
linked Duff family have won $100
million of government contract^
during Daley’s time in office. ^
Daley ordered the Law Depgrg
menfs investigation after the TfeU
bune reported that Windy City^ih
fact was run by Green’s husband,'
John Duff Jr.; and their sons.
The Duff family and organiza j
tions they control have contrib*

mayor’s campaign fund and have
provided campaign workers for
Daley-supported candidates. The
elder Duff and one of his sons have
ties to organized-crime figures.
Last Wednesday, Daley aides
announced that officials would he
more vigilant in confirming infor-
mation supplied by companies
seeking their required annual
recertification.
Controversy over the so-called
hiinority set-aside program that
assists companies in landing city
contracts goes back at least three
mayoral administrations. Mayor
Harold Washington formalized and
expanded what had been an infor-
mal set-aside program in 1985 after
African-Americans said they were
not getting their fair share of city
business.
Under current city law, contrac-
tors who vie for city work must
redirect 25 percent of the dollars
they are paid by the city to firms
owned by minorities and 5 percent
to enterprises owned by women.
Once a firm owned by minorities
or women has $17 million in
annual revenues from all its busi-
ness, it is deemed too large for the
program and considered capable of
competing for business on its own
with no additional city assistance.
Much of the debate over the pro-
gram centers on whether many
women and minorities listed as
owners of such firms are merely
fronts installed by others to take
advantage of the city’s largess. ■
In the past, even the mildest
attempt by the city to crack down
on sham companies has led to
howls from vendors complaining
that they were being buried in a
blizzard of expensive and time-con-
suming paperwork.
The Chicago area’s biggest con-
struction firms also dearly want to
see the program abolished.
in a 1996 lawsuit filed in U.S.
District Court, a construction
industry trade group asked that
the programs be ruled discrimina-
tory and tossed out. That suites
still pending.
Twice in the past two decades,
federal prosecutors have used the
city set-aside program in their
stings on City HalL
When officials in the Washing-
ton administration came under
scrutiny in the mid-1980s, an
undercover mole working for
prosecutors helped set up a firm
owned by two African-Americans
to gain a lucrative parking-ticket
collection contract for a white-
owned company.
In the more recent Operation
V - -
Silver Shovel sting on City Hall,
Aid. Ambrosio Medrano ■ pleaded
guilty in January 1996 to accept-
ing bribes from John Christopher,
a corrupt trash hauler who was
cooperating with the FBI. The
bribes bought Medrano’s assis-
tance in helping Christopher win
City Hall approval of a sham
minority-owned business.
For more than a decade, there
have been numerous published
accounts of other shady deals.
They included a company owner
selling 51 percent of his com-
pany’s stock to a female secretary,
a low-level minority employee
promoted to president of a firm
and a $10 million plumbing com-
pany long owned by a man sud-
denly listed on city records as
being owned by a woman.
On Wednesday, city officials
announced they would begin more
rigorously scrutinizing firms that
had won City Hall approval as
minority- or women-owned busi-
nesses.
Every two years, the firms will
be required to provide more
extensive documentation to prove
their status. City officials also will
conduct site visits and interviews
with clients and others.
Despite the acknowledged prob-
lems with checking up on firms
already doing business with the
city, officials long have insisted
they vigorously screen applicants
when they first apply for the spe-
cial minority set-aside status.
“We are by reputation fairly
onerous in this process,” rejecting
about 20 percent of the applicants,
Purchasing Department official
Troy Ratliff said in. an interview
last summer. Until he was shifted
to another job last week, Ratliff
was in charge of the certification
process.
For a firm to be certified by the
city, Ratliff said, a minority or
female applicant must be not just
technically the owner of a com-
pany, but also must control its
day-to-day operation.
In the case of Windy City, Cor-
poration Counsel Mara Georges
announced Friday that the city
investigation had concluded that
Patricia Green, the woman who
claimed to be running the com-
pany, was not in control of the
corporation even though she
owned 100 percent of the firm’s
stock. Instead, Georges said, the
city investigation found it was
run by men.
Because Green no longer con-
trolled the firm, the city decided
to decertify it, Georges said.
City officials said Friday that
decertification was extremely
rare, but they could not cite the
numbers of firms that had suf-
fered that fate.
As a result of its decertification,]
Windy City will lose at least $lj
million a year in city business and
could face the loss of an additional
$4.8 million annually in city busi-
ness that it receives from -other,
companies as a subcontractor. ’ ;
Since 1991, when Windy City;
first obtained its status as a certi-
fied woman-owned business, the^
city’s process for obtainingl
required annual recertification
has been scaled back because of)
limited staff, city officials said
Friday.
The city now relies only on axi|
affidavit from the company owner ;
noting whether there was a I
change in the control of the firm.
The firms are also required to file ;
financial statements, tax returns)
and other documentation. '
But none of those documents)
necessarily show whether the]
owner is still actively running the
business. And the city does not
routinely follow up to verify the
information, officials acknowl-
edged. ' [
Nonetheless, Georges said fcri-j
day that the certification process
involving Windy City wasn’t!
flawed and that Green was run-
ning the company in 1991 when
the firm first became certified by ;
the city as being owned 1 by a!
woman. b I
But the Tribune found that the j
city’s initial investigation into j
Windy City’s qualifications as a j
woman-owned business was; far
from rigorous. ]
For example, city documents
suggest that a city staffer gave j
advance notice of her site visit to ]
the firm. City officials didn’t !
request a detailed rfesum^for
Patricia Green or contact refer-
ences for the firm until after a
competitor said that Windy City
wasn’t truly operated by a
woman. ^
While Georges defended the
original decision to grant Windy
City woman-owned status, jShe
acknowledged problems with '.the
way the city carried out the firm’s
annual recertification process
more recently. j
Because of the new reforms,
Georges said, “a problem like Ihis
will be detected in the future.” ,
Qeorges said Friday the investi-
gation didn’t pinpoint when Patri-
cia Green gave up control of * the
company, but it concluded that at
some point she had turned over
the duties of running the cdm-
pany to her son, James, and
another man. I;
. City officials suggested that .the
set-aside program cannot be judged
by the results of their investigation
in the Windy City case. %

H ' appy New Year, Jan!
It’s been a few months since I
dropped you a line.
Back then I asked you to investi-
gate the juicy political cleaning con-
tracts coming out of Mayor Richard Daley’s
City Hall. Jan, you didn’t respond.
It’s* about Daley’s pals, the Duffs. They’re
.white guys, but, miraculously, they got $100
million in contracts set aside for women and
minorities. Amazing, right?
What’s more amazing is that Daley defends
them, even though the Duffs brag about their
friendships with imprisoned-but-still-active Outfit
boss Rocco Infelice and the late boss supremo
Anthony Accardo, The Dufis were investigated
in Florida— your home state, Jan— for allegedly
running a gambling operation under the protec-
tion of the Gambino crime family.
Since Democrats make such a big deal about
protecting affirmative action programs, I thought
your boss would be interested in how minority
set-aside programs were perverted in Chicago.
Imagine, Jan, what would happen if a promi-
nent Republican — say, New York Mayor Rudy
Giuliani — ever played games with minority con-
tracts for white-guy pals with wiseguy connec-
tions?
Jan? You think your fed lawyers and the FBI
would be interested then? Jan?
* There’s something else.
The mayor is angry at
me. Not only that, but he
thinks I can’t spell, which
really hurts my feelings.
But first— the investi-
gation.

According to a iront-
page story in Sunday’s
Tribune, City Hall has
spent billions of dollars
on so-called “minority”
contracts during the past
15 years— without ever
checking to see if the
businesses were sold to
politically connected white guys once the con-
tracts were approved.
Guess who pays for ail that spending? If you
said the average homeowner and shopkeeper,
you’re right See, they don’t have tax lawyers
with connections to the assessor’s. office.
* So, Jan, here goes. Can you send us some of
your Washington feds? Our local fed, U.S. Atty.
Scotty Lassar, is too busy entrapping chump
minority aldermen. It’s not fair that minorities
go to prison while well-connected white guys get
'/at from all the city gravy.
Daley is extremely touchy. He didn’t need the
Duffs and their pals. But he got caught and now
he’s embarrassed.*
That’s why he held that lame dog-and-pony-
show news conference Wednesday, when he
promised to investigate fraud in minority con-
tracts.

He waited until New Year's Eve to 'release the
city's investigation on the Duffs. It showed that
one company supposedly run by a woman was
actually run by men. But Daley's government
said that wasn't fraud. Go figure.
Daley didn’t even show up. He refused to com-
ment about it later, on New Year's Eve. He tried
to bury the smell
But he was full of angry talk earlier in the
day, when somebody asked him about my
Thursday column. It was about his lame
Wednesday news conference, where he promised
to give African-Americans more city contracts.
After the Wednesday conference, I walked out of
his office. There was Ernie Kumerow, the former
boss of Laborers Union Local 1001. Ernie is also
the son-in-law of the late 'i ony Accardo.
Ernie said he was going inside to meet with
Daley, and since he was walking into Daley’s
office, I put his quotes in my column and walked
the other way. Daley's people didn’t bother com-
plaining to me Thursday, when I talked to them.
But on Friday, the mayor said it was a lie. He
even spelled it, probably thinking that everybody
has trouble with big words.
“That's a complete lie L-I-E. Lie,” said
Daley, making with the spelling insult “Lie! Put
it down and tell the person. Thatis a complete
fabrication and lie”
“I didn’t work yesterday!” Daley said, explain-
ing that he couldn’t have met Kumerow on
Thursday— even though Kumerow was at City
Hall on Wednesday. “I didn’t have breakfast
lunch or dinner and I didn’t have a social”
You know something? Kun erow could have
been pulling my ieg about hi* meeting. And
Daley sure was adamant about not having
breakfast lunch or dinner Thursday.
But he didn’t say anything about Wednesday
tea. That’s T-E-A. Tea! Imagine them sipping a
Ceylonese blend, nibbling on "elevenses." as the
mayor’s British friends like to say.
“Hey, Rich, these cucumber sammiches are
great! Old Joe Batters loved cucumbers, you
know.”
“You like 'em, Em? I cut the crusts, slap on
the butter, then roll ’em in chives. Sammy Banks
gimme this recipe. Good, eh?”
“Yeah,” says Ernie, “Mare, you proved you
don’t need sauce to eat good.”
“Wait till you try my scones. Maron! They’re
my mayoral specialty. B ad a-b lhg-b ada-boom! ”
That’s all for now, Jan. Please send those G-
men before the next property-tax bill is sent out
OK?
Your friend,
John

It is the insurance carrier’s normal practice to

verify the total payroll and that the proper classifications of

hunt for fraud
By Gary Washburn
and Andrew Martin
Tribune Staff Writers
The federal government has
launched an investigation into pos-
sible fraud in the awarding of mil-
lions of dollars of city contracts to
Windy City Maintenance, a contro-
versial company that portrayed
itself as femalerowned tp qualify
for affirmative action business, the
city’s top lawyer disclosed Wednes-
day.
Corporation Counsel Mara
Georges said representatives of the
U.S. attorney’s office have begun
examining city records related to
the Windy City contracts and me
company’s certification as being
owned by a woman in order to
receive business reserved for firms
run by minorities and women.
A Tribune investigation last year
found that Windy City is controlled
by male members of the Duff fam-
ily, a clan with ties to Mayor Rich-
ard Daley as well as to organized
I
i
tl
crime figures.
In an exchange with reporters ax
City Hall, Georges said she agreed
to provide access to the city s
Windy City Maintenance docu-
ments after being contacted about
a week ago by U.S. Atty. Scott Las-
“He just called and said they had
opened an investigation and' ashed
if we would cooperate,” Georges
said in response to questions about
a possible federal inquiry. “I said,
‘Absolutely, we will cooperate, and
we will make our files available to
you.* ”
Although the federal probe into
Windy City Maintenance contracts
apparently began' only recently,
sources reported Wednesday that
the government has been looking
into the Duffs since September
when prosecutors subpoenaed
records related to a Duff-controUed
union that represents liquor indus-
try workers.
Those subpoenas followed a Tri-
bune report in August that ^ sepa-
rate day-labor company run by the
Duffs was undermining the Duns
own union by providing cheap,
non-union labor to the city’s major
liquor distributors.
As the issue of set-aside, affirma-
tive action contracts for minority-
run firms heated up in the City
Council, Aid. Ed Smith (28th) intro-
duced an- ordinance at Wednes-
day’s council meeting that would

cil members are angry that African-
American firms received only 9
percent of $1.3 billion in city con-
tracts during the fiscal year that
ended Sept. 30.
The action came as Daley sought
to defuse a growing controversy in *
the council over die issue of big-
money city contracts.
On Monday, Daley acknowledged
deficiencies in the city’s Purchas-
i ing Department and announced
i reforms, after disclosures by the
Tribune of alleged overbilling by
G.F. Structures, ahother controver-
sial contractor with political con-
nections.
Earlier, Daley had promised new
1 procedures to ensure that compa-
nies gaining a competitive advan-
tage by being admitted to city affir-
mative action programs actually
are owned by women and minori-
ties.
Georges’ disclosure of the federal
investigation came in an off-
handed manner. She was talking to
! reporters after Wednesday’s coun-
1 cil meeting about a court decision
, involving a city tax when ques-
tions turned to Windy City Mainte-
nance.
i When asked whether she thought
an investigation by law enforce-
ment authorities would help clear
i the air, she volunteered that “we
! are sitting down” with federal
' investigators “and sharing the doc-
uments we have.”
“I don’t know the extent of the
U.S. attorney’s investigation, ’*
I Georges told reporters. “All I know
is, they are looking at it”
An internal city investigation
into the Windy City contract *
prompted by the Tribune’s disclo-
sures, concluded that the company
was controlled by .a woman when
it first got city business but even-
tually was taken over by men.
There was no evidence of willful
wrongdoing, according to adminis-
tration officials.
As for the federal investigation,.
Georges said, “I don’t think there i
is any reason for them to find !
fraud. ... I think what they will J
find is a flaw in the system, a
problem with our process that we ,
are correcting.”
Randall Sambom, a spokesman
for the U.S. attorney’s office,
declined to comment.
James Streicker, an attorney for J
the Duff family, said he believes *
any federal investigation of the
Duffs’ City Hall business will reach
the same conclusion ak the city’s
probe.
“I think they will conclude, as
the city did, there was no fraud in
Windy City’s recertification” as a
female-owned business, Streicker
said.
Streicker said that Windy City
continues to be a female-run busi-
ness, but he said he does not take
issue with the city’s decertification
of the firm because it surpassed
$17 million in sales a year, a
threshold at which contractors no
longer qualify for special treatment
under city rules.
Stepping, squarely into the con-
troversy, Rev. Jesse Jackson called
last week for a federal probe of the
Windy City contract, contending
that front companies are taking
business that should go to legiti-
mate minority-run firms. The plea
came after a joint appearance with
Daley at RainboW/PUSH Coalition
• headq uarters. _
Sources said Wednesday~that the
initial phase of the investigation of
the Duffs centered on the Liquor
and Wine Sales Representatives,
Tire, Plastic and Allied Workers
Union, Local 3, which members of
the Duff family control.
* The union represents workers at
the same liquor distributors that
were also hiring cheaper non-union
labor supplied by the Duff day
labor company.
* Representatives of the city’s larg-
est liquor distributors could not be
located for comment on the sub-
poenas.
Besides its city contract, Windy
City Maintenance has a janitorial
| pact with the Metropolitan Pier
f and Exposition Authority worth
about $9 million a year. The
authority, operator Qf McCormick
Place and Navy Pier, has not been
contacted by federal authorities, a
spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Talking to reporters at Wednes-
day’s council meeting, Aid. Smith
said that the Tribune’s disclosures
about Windy City contained
“pretty strong information.”
“At some point, somebody has
got to bell the* cat,” he said. ‘T
think it is about that time.”
Under Smith’s proposal, a seven-,
member ‘‘independent review
board” would meet at least three
times a year to review newly
awarded city contracts, particularly
those awarded under affirmative
action programs.
The mayor would nominate
members of the committee, but the
council would have approval
authority. .
Aid. William Banks (36,th),
though a Daley administration stal-
wart, endorsed the idea, albeit ten-
tatively.
“The theory is good,” he said. “I
am not sure I want to be involved
in who gets contracts and who
doesn’t, but I like the idea of an
independent body.”

I | stated that customers may also be ho ping that
they do not have a lot of worker’s compensation claims. I I
stated that the problem with .this type of thinking from a
financial standpoint is that statistically they will have a
certain number of claims and with lower premiums i t takes few er
claims to raise your modifier in subsequent years.
explained that this meant that if a company is manipulating their
class .cod es , they a re betting on the fact that they won’t have
injuries. I I also stated that this meant that a company
manipulating its class codes would benefit from having its
employee s not file worker’s compensation claims when they were
injured. | | added that. the law requires employers to file a
claim any time that an employee has a work-related injury,
regardless of how serious the injury.

I explained that a claims run is a list of the worker’s
compensa tion claims made by the employees an insured party.
stated that if an individual employee was categorized as
clerical by an insured, but had a warehouse-related worker’s
compensation claim, then an insurance carrier could change the
class code of that individual to warehouse for the purpose of
calculating, premiums.
| | stated that if he had information that a client
was providing fraudulent class codes on its employees, he would
advise his boss who would have either changed the cla ss codes and
raised the premiums or dropped the client altogether. I I
stated' that he was not aware that WCLS might have been
fraudulently manipulating their class codes in order to lower
their worker’s compensation premium with CASUALTY.

Title: Monitor says John Duff III
should be barred from
union
By Cam Simpson
Federal Court reporter \ . -
*-
* _ * * ‘
The son of a controversial city
contractor should be barred from
an international union for life be-
* _
cause of his reputed organized
crime ties and his alleged embez-
zlement of almost $173,000,- a
court-appointed union monitor
said in a report made public Fri-
day.
John “Jack” Duff III, son of dtyj
contractors John F. Duff Jr. and-
Patricia Green Duff, allegedly
worked from 1989 .to *91 in a no-
show job as an international orga-
nizer with the ‘Hotel Employees
and Restaurant Employees Inter-
national Union.
Duff collected $172,930 for „
union work that was never, per-
formed, according to the report by
union monitor Kurt W.-Muellen-
berg.
His report also alleged that Duff
was' involved in A a' mob -connected
bookmaking operation, had ties to
former top Chicago rackets boss 1
Rocco Infelise and threatened t <
use his mob ties to kill a poliSf
officer’s family. / (

also includes John Duff IE’s union

making operation.
Despite Muellenberg’s report,
Duff remains an official in the
Liquor and Wine Sales Represen-
tatives, Tire, Plastic and Allied
.Workers Union/ Local 3, a union
founded by his father.
Muellenberg’s findings contend'
that in 1996, Duff was on several
payrolls, pocketing more than
$202,000. In addition to hfs
$35,0 00 -a-y ear job as an interna-
tional organizer with the hotel
workers, he received $88,333 from '
the liquor union. He also drew
salaries from a family-run busi-

Muellenberg has been working
since 1995 to clean up the
250,000-member hotel workers
union. He was appointed to moni-
tor union activities after the U.S.
Ju stice Department sued the
union, alleging that for 25 years
the union was controlled by' orga-
nized crime figures.
The union was' run until 1998
by the late labor leader Edward
Hanley of Chicago, one of the
nation’s most influential union
bosses. Muellenberg forced Hanley
to step down in 1998 and removed
Hanley’s son, Thomas, as the pres-
ident of the powerful Local 1 in
Chicago.
Muellenberg also previously
issued orders revoking former
U.S, Rep. Dan Rostenkowski’s
$150,000 consulting contract with
the union and ousted Robert Hick-
man, the convicted former head of
the Illinois State Toll Highway
Authority, from his job as a union
organizer. The monitor took
actions against both men because
of their criminal convictions.-

The Duffs and Hanleys have
been friends for years, according

tified in hearings before the moni-

But by 1992, the report con-
tended, Duff actually was living
most of the time in Florida, where
his “principal occupation” was
operation of an illegal bookmak-

and Florida.
According to the monitor’s
report, the sports betting ring
operated out of apartments that
were first rented by the elder Duff
and Windy City. Later, a Miami
condominium was bought by the
elder Duff.
The betting ring was the target
of a federal investigation that fell
apart when the lead FBI agent in
Miami was caught embezzling
funds from the agency.
But from December 1993 until
about September 1994, a confiden-

. in just four trips to the gaming
boats monitored by investigators,
Duff used cash to buy $36,300 m

The monitor concluded that
because of his frequent stays in
Florida, his trips to the boats, and
overseas travel, Duff wasn’t work-
he was. - ■ _ ,
«I find that [Duff] embezzled
approximately $172,930 from the

The report noted that Duff had

Already under Investigation by the federal
.government, the politically connected Duff
family has developed another headache from
anunlikely source; a group of tortilla makers
.on.Chicago’s Southwest Side.
The tortilla makers are employees of Azte-
,ca Poods, and for the last six months they
have been trying to figure out a way to oust
the union that rep-

pay increases or better benefits. Further-
more, they contend that they have never been
allowed to vote for Local 3’s officers and have
beep threatened with physical harm for try-
ing to decertify the Duffs' union.
The National Labor Relations Board is in-
vestigating an allegation that a Duff associate
threatened Azteca workers, according to an
NLRB spo kesman.

^The union is more infavor of the company

Azteca worker and union steward.
In filings with federal regulators and in an

i suggest that the friction stems from a handful
, of disgruntled employees who are pressuring
their colleagues.
! But the conflict doesn’t represent the first
tipie the Duffs have been accused of neglect-
ing union members.
The Tribune reported last summer that
Windy City Labor, a Duff-owned company,
j was supplying non-union day laborers to the
i city’s biggest liquor distributors, under-
* mining members of Local 3 who work at the
same liquor distributors.
t, The Tribune also reported that companies
connected with the Duffs have won $100 mil-
lion in city-related business, many of them
contracts set aside for women andminorities,
since Mayor Richard Daley took office inl989.
The Tribune found that one of the companies,

the Duff family
Prompted by the Tribune stories,
the U.S. attorney's office is investi-
gating the possible conflict of inter-
est between the Duff union and
Windy City Labor. Federal investi-
gators also have sought records
from the city on Windy City Mainte-
nance and its certification as a
woman-owned business.
Meanwhile, the workers, dissat-
isfied with the terms of their most
recent contract, are trying to with-
hold their union wages from the
Duffs' union. In January the work-
ers voted 70 to 10 to withhold their
dues, a vote the union is challeng-
ing before the U.S. Department of
Labor.
Ultimately the workers said, they
hope to oust the union altogether. A
decertification vote could be held
when the current contract expires
in 2002.
The dispute has pitted a small
.group of laborers, most of whom
cannot speak English, against one
of the city's most prominent His-
panic businessmen, Azteca owner
Arthur Velasquez, as well as a fam-
ily that has been tied to some of the
city's most powerful politicians
and organized crime leaders.
Neither Patrick Duff, the union's
president, nor his brother, Jack, the
secretary and treasurer, could be
reached for comment. The Tribune
provided questions to an attorney
representing the Duffs, but he did
not respond.
But in documents filed to chal-
lenge the workers' vote to withhold
their dues, an attorney for Local 3
alleged that Navarro had threat-
ened workers if they didn't vote
against the union, a charge Navar-
ro denies.
The attorney, William Widmer
m, also alleged that Navarro dis-
tributed misleading literature to
sway the vote and used methods
that falsely suggested that Azteca's
management supported the effort
not to pay dues.
Velasquez, meanwhile, blamed
the dispute on a handful of “mili-
tant” workers at the factory, 5005 S.
Nagle Ave. He argued that his com-
pany’s pay and benefits are far su-
perior to its competitors and that
many of his workers have more
than 20 years on the job.
“There's a couple people who are
very disgruntled— who are being
advised by some outside people —
who want to change the world,” Ve-
lasquez said. “If this were such a
bad place to work, why would you
work here for more than 20 years?”
In an interview with the Tribune,
four Azteca workers— Navarro, Jo-
sefina Bonilla, Angelina Diaz and
Teresa Morales— all with 19 or
more years on the job, said the Duff
union has represented them for
about six years. Until they began
complaining last' summer, the
• workers said they were not invited
to vote on union officers and rarely
saw representatives of Local 3, ex-
cept when a new contract was being
negotiated.
The labor problems intensified a
year ago, however, when negotia-
tions began on a new contract. The
workers said they requested a 50-
cent-an-hour wage increase, plus
beefed up pension andmedical ben-
efits. The workers said the average
pay is between $8 and $10 an hour.
The union, however, agreed to a
contract that called’ for wage in-
creases of 25 to 30 cents an hour
with no additional benefits.
Navarro said he and some other
workers were infuriated when the
union approved the contract with-
out their consent. They filed a pet-
ition with the National Labor Rela-
tions Board for an election to with-
hold their union dues, which was
scheduled for Jan. 14.
In the weeks before the vote,
union president Patrick Duff met
with workers at Azteca and brought
along a Teamster official, Geno Ro-
driguez, to translate. In affidavits
filed with the NLRB, three workers
contend Rodriguez threatened
them with “physical harm or other
unspecified reprisals if the deauth-
orization campaign continued.”
According to the affidavits, Ro-
driguez asked the workers if they
knew what happened to Rudy Loza-
no, a union activist who was mur-
dered in 1983.
m
“When Geno asked if we knew
what happened to Rudy Lozano, I
thought he was trying to scare us
into giving up our fight,” said Bo-
nilla, a 26-year veteran at Azteca,
Rodriguez could not be reached
for comment.
The workers, meanwhile, called
the federal Occupational Safety and
Health Administration last fall to
complain about working condi-
tions at Azteca. After a two-week in-
spection, OSHA investigators, cited
Azteca for a variety of problems, in-
cluding excessive sound levels, fail-
ing to provide protective equip-
ment and improper training for
chemical hazards.
Velasquez said some violations
were inevitable given the duration
of the inspection and OSHA's
“phone book'full of rules.” He said
most of the problems have been ad-
dressed.

Tribune Staff Writers
With the first summer festival
at Grant Park a little more than
two weeks away, city officials on
Wednesday said they have finally
selected a contractor for the mas-
sive task of cleaning up debris af-
terward.
But instead of Windy City
I Maintenance, the politically con-
nected firm that has handled the
, job since shortly after Mayor Ri-
chard Daley took office, the city
has tentatively selected an 8-
month-old firm called Urban Ser-
vices of Americafrom amongfive
I firms that submitted proposals.
James Law, executive director
of the Mayor’s Office of Special
Events, declined to say whether
j Urban Services of America sub-
mitted the lowest price.
“This is based more on qualifi-
1 cations and their presentation,”
said Law, adding that the city
would begin negotiating a con-
tract in the next few days. The
proposals are not available for
public review until the city has
i signed a formal agreement. Last
I year, the contract was worth
[ $573,000.
But the city has yet to pick a
company to make signs and ban-
ners for the festival, a contract
some vendors say has been
marred by favoritism for years.
The company that now has the
contract, Frank- O. Carlson & Co.,
will continue providing signs un-
til new proposals are considered.
Law struggled to explain why
the city had yet to seek proposals
for the sign contract, worth
$108,000 in 1999, though the an-
nual Chicago Gospel Music Fes-
tival is scheduled for the first
weekend in June.
Before this year, the Mayor’s
Office of Special Events had a
waiver from city purchasing re-
quirements that allowed agency
officials to simply select janitor
rial companies, sign firms and

lecting vendors for this year’s fes- -
tivals were due in part to the
' change in policy requiring that j >
1 vendors submit formal proposals. I
1 The city changed its policy after f j
the Tribune reported that Windy j
! City Maintenance, a company pur-
1 portedly owned and operated by a
i woman, was actually run by men in
1 the Duff family, some of whom have
organized crime connections.
' Windy City Maintenance was
created a month after Daley took of-
fice in 1989, and a year later it got a ; |
no-bid contract to clean up after j
summer festivals. Daley reportedly
told the late Kathy Osterman, then
head of the special events office, to ^ 1
make sure the Duffs got city work, ,|
an allegation Daley has denied.
Windy City Maintenance has
held the contract ever since and al- i
so picked up cleaning contracts for j
: the Harold Washington Library, the
i International Terminal at O’Hare
* International Airport, Navy Pier’
and McCormick Place. In all, the
, firm received as much as $13 mil-
I lion a year in city-related business.
Earlier this year, after the city '
I corroborated the Tribune’s find-'
ings, Windy City Maintenance lost '
its woman-owned designation and
about $1 million of its city business.
Urban Services of America is an
i offshoot of Reclaim Service Tech-
I nologies, a Chicago firm that has
specialized in welding plastic gar-
bage carts for cities.., __
Urban Services’ president, Doug
i Ritter, said the company now does
, everything from cleaning Califor- ‘
niahighways to transporting porta-
I ble bathrooms for Chicago city fes-
tivals. He said the festival clean-up j
contract was “unique for anybody i
except for the prior contractor.” !
“We are not a business obviously ,
j that is posing as what we aren’t,” he .
said. “We are not minorities, and
we are not women.” But he added
that his firm planned to give up to*

that the experience modifier did not seem right as it was way too
high considering the number of clerical workers t hat were

been filed) for code 8292 (warehousing) , especially cons idering
the amount of payroll at that classification. Therefore

cooperate during future audits by AmComp, AmComp would cancel the
policy.
AmComp’s coverage of WCLS expired in July of 2000 and
AmComp decided not to renew the coverage. This decision was
based in part on the fact that almost all of the claimants
injured while working for WCLS had retained attorneys. This made
it extremely difficult for AmComp to work with the claimants to
resolve their cases. In addition, I

number of workers that Waste Management hires from WCLS varies b6

In the early 1990's, WCLS workers were hired to help at
what was then kn own as Clearing Disposal at 3 8th Street and Laramie
Avenue in Cicero [ I approximated that six to eight day laborers
would, on average, be assigned to this site. Not all of the day
laborers would necessarily be from WCLS as Waste Management also
hired from Resource Dimensions, another day labor firm. The day
laborers worked on the recycling line at Clearing Disposal and this
entailed sorting through plastics, aluminum cans, and other
materials. Occasionally the day laborers were assigned as helpers
on the trucks that pick up garbage, but this was only on holidays
and other infrequent occasions . ^ ^

Clearing Disposal was also responsible for a contract in

Ace Disposal is the former name of Waste Management 1 s

site is a recycling facility that processes paper and fiber
products. The number of day laborers at this location has varied
greatly. In 1995, the recycling facility was very busy and ran
three shifts per day, seven days per week. Two to three day
laborers might have been hired fqr each shift. In 1997 and 1998
the recycling business was in a downward swing and few day laborers
were needed; two to three workers per day was the approximate

authority to deal directly with WCLS. For instance, if there was a
particularly good worker from WCLS whom they wanted to keep, they
could offer to pay an extra 25 cents per hour. In addition, they
could refuse to take back an unreliable WCLS worker.
Presently there are approximately 350 workers at the 1500
North Hooker facility. Of this number, approximately ten to
fifteen are day laborers who work at the paper plant on a daily
basis. In addition, the Cicero facility at 38th Street and Laramie
Avenue employs approximately one or two laborers per day. They are
usually assigned to yard duty which entails general outdoor clean
up of the facility. Occasionally the day laborers may be used for
portable toilet ‘assembly for outdoor festivals.

did not recall discussing WCLS with either of them.
After reviewing portions of the CASUALTY/FREMONT
underwriting file on WCLS,
indicated that while he did
not have a lot of independent recollections of his dealings with
WCLS, he recognized many of the documents as CASUALTY/ FREMONT
documents and they helped refresh his memory on some of his
dealings with WCLS. | | indicated that he also recognized
his handwriting on many of the documents .
| | reviewed a document labeled “AUDIT ADJUSTMENT,”
dated November 11, 1994, which showed $600,000 in a Warehousing
classification, 8292, for CASUALTY’S worker’s compensation policy
for WCLS for the period of 07/05/93 to 07/05/94. The document
stated that it was an “estimated audit" and indicated that a
“revised audit [w ould! be issued when the payroll records are
made available . ’’ I I related that the estimated audit was
sent ou t when an insured party was not complying with a final
audit. | [ indicated that deciding to put the $600,000 into
warehousing, as opposed to some other classification, could have
been based on claims they were getting or because it was the
highest classification that the insured party was using. |
advised that whatever the reason, the estimated audit was
designed to get the insured to cooperate with the audit.
advised that if the insured party simply paid the estimated
audit, then the carrier would definitely want to schedule a
physical audit because it probably meant that the insured was not
properly reporting their classifications or payroll.
I | recognized the address of 174-178 North

that during the course of the audit he learned that REM had two
divisions, a “day labor” division, which TRAVELERS insured
through the assigned risk market, and another div ision, whic h
another company insured in the voluntary market . | |
recalled that the “day labor" division of REM was primarily
classified as warehouse workers and estimated that the total
payroll was approxima tely $1.6 million based on the quarterly
payroll information. I I indicated that REM’s experience
modifier was approximately 1.04, indicating an average loss
history given their employee classifications.

he would not ordinarily ask about common owners hip durin g an
audit unless something triggered the question. | | advised
that the underwriting department would ask and advised that the
documents, including an acord, asking such questions would be in
TRAVELERS’ underwriting files .
| advised that it was a common form of insurance
fraud to c reate a n ew company to avoid a very high experience
modifier. I I related that it w as uncomm on to see experience
modifiers as high as 3.0 or higher. I ~1 indicated that if a
company was intentionally misclassifying their payroll into a
clerical classification when it was supposed to be in a
warehousing classification, even a modifier as high as 3.0 won ’t
make up for the premium that should have been paid. I
advised that the best way for insurance companies to avoid years
of fraud leading to a high modifier is to "verify claims’’ by
checking the nature of the work being done, talk to the people
where it was being done, and put the employees in their proper
payroll classifications. I I
I advised that CASUALTY /FREMONT was not properly

manually. I ~l stated that CASUALTY’S management was not
committed to putting an updated computer system in place or
getting more people to do the underwriting on assigned risk work.
I indicated that the NCCI also wanted final audits done
within 90 days of t he end of the policy and CASUALTY/FREMONT was
rushed to do these . l advised that the NCCI only audited a
carrier every few yea rs and on ly a small percentage of their
files were reviewed. | | indicated that this allowed
CASUALTY/ FREMONT to cont inue to m ake mistakes for years on
assigned risk policies. I l advised that neither
CASUALTY /FREMONT nor the NCCI had a system f or any ki nd of day-
to-day review of underwriting and auditing. | l advised that
the NCCI would not know if a particular company had been audited
from year to year unless an audit card was filed by the servicing

could obtain all of the documents from REM’s worker’s compensation

H advised that in the assigned ri sk market , there
was no actual risk to the assigned risk carriers. I I
explained that the NATIONAL COUNCIL ON COMPENSATION INSURANCE
(NCCI) contracted with the State of Illinois to create and
monitor an assigned risk worker’s compensation market for
companie s that co uld not obtain insurance in the voluntary
market. I I related that the NCCI would assig n various
companies to be handled by the servicing carriers . I I
stated that while the servicing carriers would collect the
premiums and any other fees and pay the claims, they would only
receive a flat fee from the NCCI for the business, rather than
profiting or losi ng money based on the premium collected and the
claims paid out . \ related that the NCCI would pay any
losses and receive credit for premiums that exceeded the fees

paid to the servicing carriers in the assigned risk market.
~l stated that the NCCI would then levy a surcharge on all
insurance carriers, not just assigned risk carriers , if the
losses for a particular year were too high. I I related that
in addition to assigning carriers, the NCCI also calculated and
assigned experience modifiers, established rates for each
worker’s compensation classification, and established advisory
rates for certain classifications.
| |advised that there was formerly many companies
that pa rticipated as servicing carriers in the assigned risk
market , |

this changed occurred 5-6 years ago when the NCCI went to a bid
process for who was going to get the assigned risk business.

Duffs face

*
By Laurie Cohen *
Tribune staff reporter
The agency that manages
McCormick Place and Navy
Pier plans to seek competitive
bids for janitorial service
rather than extend a multirnil-
I lion-dollar agreement with a
controversial cleaning firm. *
Windy City Maintenance^
which has taken in $50.7 mih
J lion from the janitorial corn
, tract in the past five years, is
run by the politically connects
, ed Du ff family. The Tribune
, has reported that federal au-
thorities are investigating
whether the Duffs violated la-
bor laws and defrauded a Chi-
cago program intended to ben-
efit minorities and women.
Directors of the Metropoli-
tan Pier and Exposition Au-
thority voted Wednesday to
i seek competitive bids to make
I sure the agency is paying a
reasonable price for cleaning
services and not because of
any alleged misconduct by the
Duffs, officials said.
“At this point, all there are
are allegations,” said board
chairman Kelly Welsh.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
1991 in a partnership with mi-
nority vendors Tim and Everett
Rand, was among four groups
vying for the business.
The authority said it would
conduct a formal review of Lev-
y’s performance after 30
months.
A vote on the janitorial con-
tract had been stalled since
April, when staff members
praised Windy City’s work and
recommended^ that it get a
three-year contract extension.
Instead, the board decided to
survey cleaning costs at other
convention centers.
On Wednesday, citing difficul-
ties in determining janitorial
costs elsewhere, the board
members extended Windy
City’s contract through Febru-
ary to give the agency time to so-
licit bids. James Streicker, an
attorney for the Duffs, had no
immediate comment on wheth-
er Windy City plans to bid on
the new contract.
* The Tribune reported in 1999
that Windy City had reaped tens
of millions of dollars as a wom-
an-owned business even though
it was run by the men in the Duff
family some of whom have con-
nections to organized crime.
The Duffs have held fundraisers
for Mayor Richard Daley and
provided campaign workers for
Daley-backed candidates.
The Duffs also control a union
known as Liquor and Wine
Sales Representatives, Ware-
housemen, Clerical, Distillery
Rectifying, Tire, Plastic and Al-
lied Workers Union Local 3. The
Tribune investigation showed
that a separate day-labor com-
pany fun by the Duffs was un-
dermining the union by provid-
ing cheap, non-union labor to
the city’s major liquor distribu-
tors.
After the disclosures, the city
concluded that Windy City had
improperly claimed it was con-
trolled by a woman, and the
firm became ineligible for
about $1 million in contracts un-
der the city’s minority set-aside
program. Windy City has lost
other city business in the past
year, including janitorial work
at the Harold Washington Li-
brary and the International
Terminal at O’Hare Interna-
tional Airport.
Remedial Environmental
Manpower, a company founded
by the Duffs and how run by one
of their associates, stiff holds a
lucrative garbage-sorting sub-
contract as part of the city’s
Blue Bag recycling program.
Windy City won the janitorial
contract at McCormick Place
and Navy Pier in 1996, after an
unusual bidding process. Three
rivals initially submitted lower
bids. But after all the finalists
met with authority officials and
revised their proposals, Windy
City became the low bidder
The company actually was
paid $10.6 million the first
year— nearly $4 million more
than its winning proposal. Last
year its biff came to $11.3 mil-
lion.
In other action, the board also
votedto install 62 defibrillators
at McCormick Place, replacing
three machines that had been in
use. Such lifesaving devices,
which deliver an electric shock
that restarts a heart in cardiac
arrest, already have been in-
stalled in other public sites, in-
cluding O’Hare and Midway
Airports.
Authority officials said the
defibrillators will cost $3,000
each and will be within a two-
minute walk of any point in the
complex, making them readily
available in emergencies.

Re: Windy City Labor Service, Inc.
Dean
for Kemper Insurance, asked that I
reter the following to your attention. It is my understanding that you have an interest in mem-
bers of the Duff family.
Kemper Insurance. is a major property and casualty insurance carrier whose home office is lo-
cated in Long Grove, Illinois. Approximately 60% of Kemper’s business is the provision of
workers’ compensation insurance which is handled through the collection of premiums from our A
insured’s. \\
Vi
r
The following report pertains to the efforts made by Kemper Insurance to conduct an audit of the
accounting records of Windy City Labor Service in order to determine the appropriate workers’
compensation insurance premiums for the period July 5, 1998 to July 5, 1999. In the effort to
determine those premiums, Kemper Insurance has uncovered questionable activity on the part of
the management of Windy City Labor Service, Inc. A summary of the events leading to this
point is attached.
Windy City Labor Service, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois was unable to procure workers’ compensa-
tion insurance coverage in the voluntary market, so they applied to the Illinois assigned risk mar-
ket. The coverage was assigned to Kemper Insurance through the assigned risk plan and a policy b 6
(Policy #3BA-093027-00) was issued to provide the coverage to Windy City Labor Service ef- b 7 c
fective July 5, 1998.
At the time the policy was issued. Windy City LaborService, Inc. based their estimated premium'
on 200 employees of which it was indicated over 90% of these employees would be performing.
clerical type duties. Windy City Labor Service represented their estimated annual payroll to be
over $2,000,000.

Representatives of Windy City Labor Service have failed to cooperate with Kemper insurance
and allow our auditors the opportunity to conduct an audit. As a result of this failure, Kemper
Insurance has been unable to dete rmin e an exact pre mium due for the policy period.
However, through investigation of their operation, we have been able to determine that Windy
City Labor Service has misrepresented the work performed by their employees. Windy City La-
bor Service is a day labor service.specializing in the production of non-skilled employees in
warehouse and delivery settings. The large majority of the employees which Windy City Labor
Service and their insurance agent have represented as clerical employees are actually working in
warehouse settings loading trucks and participating in the delivery of merchandise.
Based upon the information developed, Kemper Insurance has determined that Windy City La-
bor Service should have paid over-$300,000 in workers’ compensation insurance premiums-to
Kemper during this period while having actually paid $56,695. The damages estimate is based
upon an analysis of the information received to date. Windy City Labor Service is providing
warehouse employees to several customers in the Chicago area. The least expensive available
warehouse classification was used in lieu of the clerical classification. It is very likely that more
expensive classifications will apply to the. payroll which in turn will increase the damages esti-
mate.
The attached summary and information outlines Kemper’s business relationship with Windy City
Labor Service. If after re view of these do cuments you need additional information from our
files, please contact me atl I

CITY LABOR SERVICE,
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE :
The following is a brief explanation of the workers’ compensation insurance system in the
Illinois Assigned Risk Market and how it is supposed to be operated* Due to intention of making
workers’ compensation insurance available to all employers in Illinois, it is possible for some
employers to manipulate the system in orderto pay less pre mium than they truly owe.
Workers’ compensation insurance is intended to provide insurance coverage to the employees of
a company in the case of a work related injury. Because an insurance, carriers’ exposure is
determined by the number of employees that a company has as well as the type of work
performed by those employees, the workers’ compensation insurance pre miums are calculated
using the following criteria:
1 . An employee’s total payroll subject to various criteria
2. The type of work performed by the employee
3 . The state set rate for the type of work performed*
There are over 600 workers’ compensation insurance classification used to define the type of
work performed by the various industries in Illinois. These classifications range from the least
expensive such as clerical only operations (work exclusively in an office handling paper work,
phones, etc) to the construction trades (such as roofing, carpentry, plumbing, etc). Common
sense would indicate that the insurance rate for a secretary (clerical) would be much lower than
the insurance rate for a roofer. There is a much larger likelihood of injury as well as a much
larger likelihood of serious injury to the roofer than there is to the secretary.
The following example will illustrate the difference in premium faced by a company maHp up
entirely of secretaries vs. a company made up entirely of roofers.
Secretarial Firm:
Total Payroll
$100,000
Insurance Rate
.36%
Total Premium
$360
Roofing Firm:
Total Payroll
$100,000
Insurance Rate
36.46%
Total Premium
$36,460
As can be seen from this example, the insurance rate for a roofer is much higher than it is for a
clerical person in Illinois. A roofing company thathonestly rates their employees will pay 100
times more for their workers’ compensation insurance than a company made up entirely of
secretaries.

Workers’ compensation ins^feice carriers rely upon the insured to pr^me an honest asses<;mf>n
of their operations including a full description of the type of work performed by each employee.
The- example provided indicates how lucrative it can be to purposefully misclassify their
employees.. It is made simpler by temporary labor contractors, since they provide employees to
several different customers. The temporary labor contractor can report those employees to the
insurance carrier as clerical even though the employees may be w orking in the warehouse.
Workers’ compensation insurance coverage in Illinois is mandatory. Every employer must cany
workers’ compensation insurance. However, not every company is able to procure workers’
compensation insurance in the marketplace due to circumstances as diverse as to small a
company to poor loss experience. For those employers, Illinois has the assigned risk market
which is also known as the market of last resort Whereas the insurance agent represents the
insurance carrier in the regular marketplace, the agent represents-the employer in the assigned
risk market. The insurance carrier has no relationship with the insurance agent in the assigned
risk market.. In addition, it should be noted that the insurance carrier and the. employer do not
court each other in the assigned risk market. Those employers that apply for workers’
compensation insurance through the assigned risk market have their policy assigned to the carrier
by the Plan Administrator, the National Council on Compensation Insurance, otherwise known
as NCCI. In this market, the carrier does not have the right to refuse to write the insurant for
the employer:
Under normal circumstances an employer’s workers’ compensation insurance coverage is
assigned to the insurance earner. Through the insurance application, the employer has provided
a general description of their business as well as an estimate of the total payroll broken down by
the-different workers’' compensation insurance classifications. The estimated annual premium is
paid-in full with the application. The workers’ compensation insurance policy is issued to the
employer and coverage is in force. In some cases, the insurance carrier will perform a
preliminary (or mid term) audit to verify the payroll totals and the insurance classifications. At
the end of the annual policy period, the insurance carrier conducts an audit to verify the total
payroll and the proper insurance classifications. Through the use of the final audit, the total
policy premium is determined for the policy period

SUMMARY OF EVENT
Windy City Labor Service applied for workers’ compensation insurance in July 1998. Because
Windy City was unable to procure workers’ compensation insurance in the general market (all
carriers approa ched by their insurance agent refused to offer coverage to them ! Windy City
Labor Service’ ^ requested coverage
through the Illinois Assigned Risk Market (a.k.a. the market of last resort). The application
(exhibit #1) was sent to the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) which operates
the assigned risk market for Illinois along with a check (exhibit # 2) for the initial deposit
pre mium .
In the policy application. Windy City Labor Service represented themselves as a “labor service —
providing day to day manpower for various clients”. Windy City Labor Service based its annual
insurance premium on policy estimates that indicated they had over 200 employees and that over
92% of their payroll was either clerical office employees or professional employees of labor
unions (a classification used for the actual employees r unning the union). Both carry a very low
workers’ compensation insurance rate.
Upon receipt of an application for workers’ compensation insurance coverage from the insurant
agency for Windy City Labor Service, NCCI requested that the insured complete the “Temporary
Employment Contractor Information” questionnaire (exhibit #3). The questionnaire requires a
complete list of the current clients as well as any s hared ownership with a client. In response to
this request from NCCI for additional information J "H and. the representatives of
Windy City Labor Service (exhibit #4) provided the following information which included a list
of clients as well as the statement “there is no common ownership with any client”.
• The following clien ts were identified by Windy City Labor Service:
Curtis Storage & Trucking (share ownership with Windy City Labor Service)
[ share office space and probable ownership with Windy City Labor)
I (share probable ownership with Windy City Labor)
Remedial Environmental Manpower (share office space and. ownership with Windy City
Labor)
• Windy City provides only clerical personnel to labor unions, not laborers or members, (yet
no labor unions mentioned as clients)
• Windy City provides only clerical personnel to all of their clients, (claims past and present
indicate otherwise)
• Windy City did not know anything about the operations of Remedial Environmental
Manpower, (yet they share office space and ownership with REM)

Manpower, Curtis Storage & Trucking and Hutc hins on Trading Company.
\
A Kemper Insurance auditor attempted, to conduct a preliminary audit on this account in
September 1998. (exhibit #7) He was told to meet the insured at an address that was not reflected
on the policy, 1024 W. Kinzie in Chicago. The auditor was shown a computer generated payroll
recap that placed almost all of the payroll under the clerical classification. When the auditor
asked the insured to provide accounting back up as well as the names and phone numbers of the
clients, he was told that it was not available at that time. He was asked to return ata.later date
after the insured had the opportunity to put together the requested information. The insured
would not return any o f the auditor’s subsequent phone calls, so he contacted their l
l and requested assistance. Although assistance was promised, none was
ever provided. The audit was returned to the. Dallas office in November 1998 due to alack of
cooperation.
At the same time as an auditor was attempting to perform a preliminary audit, Kemper’s Loss
Control department was attempting to schedule a survey of the insured’s operation. The Loss
Control representative was refused access. The Loss Control representative spoke to the
insured’s designated contact by telephone in late January 1999, but was not provided access to
their office or to their job sites (exhibit #8).

Through various sources, Kemper Insurance has determined that Windy City Labor Service is
actually a day labor service providing general labor to various industries in the Chicago area.
The physical address of Windy City Labor Service is 174-178 N. Halsted in Chicago, Illinois;
This has been referred to as an industrial area of town with very little professional foot traffic
(which would be necessary for a. temporary labor contractor that specializes in the supply of
clerical help). In addition, it has been noted that Windy City Labor Service owns more than one
van used to transport temporary laborers to their daily job sites. A temporary labor contractor
specializing in clerical personnel does not have a need to transport their personnel to the client’s
site. This is typically reserved for temporary labor contractors that specialize in the use of “day
laborers” performing non-clerical functions. Furthermore, representatives of Windy City Labor
Service in interviews with Kemper claims adjusters have referred to Windy City Labor Service
as a day labor agency.
In addition, the Chicago Tribune has recently written several articles (exhibit #9) on the business
relationships of the Duff family. In those articles it has been noted that Windy City Labor 1
Service is a “day labor” company that often uses the homeless to handle their work.

Furthermore, it has been all^^i that Windy City Labor Service is proving almost all of the
labor to load the trucks at Chicago area liquor - distributors. Supposedly the labor unions run by
the Duff s have a contract with these same distributors to supply all of the labor to load these
same trucks. The following liquor distributors have been - identified as clients using Windy City
Labor Service to load trucks (in contrast to Windy City Labor Service’s contention that they

In correspondence dated July 15, 1998, Windy City Labor indicated Romano Brothers was a
client of theirs and. all employees supplied to Romano Brothers as well as all other listed clients
were clerical only. As with the other claimants, their duties as temporary employees did not
match the duties indicated in written correspondence from Windy City Labor Service. During the
period firom July 5, 1998 and July 5, 1999, Windy City Labor Services submitted 10 claims for
workers’ compensation insurance coverage. All of these claims were for “laborers” involved in
various industries. None of the. claims involved injuries remotely related to. clerical duties.
Finally, Windy City Labor Service has a workers’ compensation insurance experience modifier
of 2.78. This is comparable with their experience modifier for the past several years. The
experience modifier is a formula used to even the “playing field” between companies in the
insurance market. Since all companies in an industry must use the same classifications with the
same rates, those companies that present an unsafe workplace with numerous claims are
presented with a debit experience modifier based upon the number of claims versus the total
amount of premium paid. An experience modifier of 2.78 indicates Windy City Labor Service is
paying workers’ compensation insurance at 2.78 times the standard rates. A premium of $1 00
becomes $278. An experience modifier this high is an indicatorof a payroll that has been
seriously misclassified for many years.

Almost none of the payroll is clerical
Subsequent correspondence from both the insured and their agent stated that the payroll was
primarily clerical in nature and that they were not related to any of their known clients.
However, information found in the past several weeks leads us to believe that the large majority
of their payroll is actually non-clerical in nature and that they are related through both o wnership
and management to several companies including several clients.
The following points are intended to show the likelihood of misrepresentation on the part of
Windy City Labor Service and their insurance agent:
• The business location is in an area of Chicago typically used by “non-clerical” day labor
firms.
• The insured themselves refer to their company as a day labor service
• All 1 0 claims submitted by the insured during the policy period are non-clerical in nature
• The experience modifier based upon the past several years of experience indicates Windy
City’s employee’s have been misclassified for workers’ compensation purposes for several
years.
M
Windy City Labor Service owns vans used forthe transportation of employees to then-
respective jobs which is not a service typically provided to clerical employees.
• Windy City Labor Service uses the homeless as employees.
• Windy City Labor Service has failed to allow an audit of their records. The one time an
auditor was allowed to visit Windy City Labor Service, they were directed to an address not
identified as Windy City Labor Service (1024 W. Kinzie) rather than the known address on
Halsted. (best to avoid the obvious questions about the clerical or lack of clerical, employees)

clients made known to Kemper Insurance at this point are related through ownership and

management to Windy m Labor Service, or seem to have very cRe business ties to the
Duff family such' as Romano Beverages.
Windy City Labor Service failed to allow Kemper’s loss control representative to visit their
job sites.
By fail in g to allow the audit. Windy City Labor Service has managed to hide their* full payroll
from Kemper Insurance. In addition, it has been impossible to obtain a full client list which,
could have been used to independently verify the total payroll, and the type of work handled by
Windy City Labor Service employees.
Although* the failure to allow an audit has made it impossible to accurately? determine the total
premium owed-by Windy City Labor Service, it can be determined that-Windy City Labor
Service should have paid premiums in excess of $300,000 during this policy period, but only
paid $56,695.

subpoenas
city data on

A federal grand jury has sub-

ily whose janitorial company

j lars in city-related contracts
I since Mayor Richard Daley took

sought records on at least one
Duff company. Windy City
Maintenance, from the Metro-
politan Pier and Exposition Au-
thority (McPier), which over-
sees McCormick Place and Na-
vy. Pieri sources said. Windy
City Maintenance, a janitorial
firm, has held a cleaning con-
tract with the authority since
1996, and the authority board is
expected to decide whether to
renew its contract in the com-
ing weeks.
Officials with the U.S. attor-
ney’s pffice declined to com-
ment. The Duffs’ attorney,
James Streicker, could not be
located for comment.
Jennifer Hoyle, spokes-
woman for the city’s Law De-
partment, said city officials
were cooperating.
federal prosecutors have
been investigating the Duffs for
more than two years, a probe
prompted by a July 1999 Trib-
ute investigation that found
Windy City Maintenance,
which had won tens/of millions
of dollars in government con-
tract set-asides for woman-own-
ed firms', was actually run by
men in the Duff family
The Tribune also reported
that a day labor company con-
trolled by the Duffs, Windy City
Labor, was supplying non-
union labor to liquor distribu-
tors whose employees were rep-
resented by a union run by the
Duff family, apossible labor vio-
lation.
To date, the federal investiga-
tion has focused on those labor
violations by the Duffs’ union/
the Liquor and Wine Sales Rep-
resentatives, Tire, Plastic and
Allied Workers Union, sources
said.
The latest subpoena suggests
the investigation has now ex-
panded. Though federal prose-
cutors asked city officials for
records on Windy City Mainte-
nance in January* 2000, there
has been little additional evi-
dence they were actively pursu-
ing the Duffs’ contracts at City
Hall.
The Tribune reported Windy
City Maintenance had used its
status as a woman-owned com-
pany to win millions in con-
tracts from the Daley adminis-
tration and the Metropolitan
Pier and Exposition Authority,
a joint city/state agency The
city requires that 25 percent of
all contracts be awarded to mi-
nority- and woman-owned
firms.
The company had earned its
woman-owned status by stating
it was owned and operated by
Patricia Green. The Tribune
found Patricia Green was ac-
tually Patricia Green Duff, and
the company was run by her
husband, John Duff Jr., and
their sons.
In the years since Daley took
office, Windy City Maintenance
had been hired to clean up after
city festivals such as Taste of
Chicago and 'to provide janito-
rial services at the Harold
Washington Library, the inter-
national Terminal at O’Hare In-
ternational Airport, Navy Pier,
McCormick Place and several
police stations.
Remedial Environmental
Manpower was formed in 1988
by Patricia Green and William
Stratton, an African-American
who was a longtime employee of
the Duffs’ union. Stratton was
also a director for- Windy City
Maintenance.
Remedial Environmental
Manpower’s initial request to
be certified as a minority-own-
ed company in 1993 was rejected
by the city because Strattoh
“appears to be substantially re-
liant on James Duff,” one of the
sons, an investigation found.
However, a year later, Stratton
convinced city officials he own-
ed the company, though city of-
ficials said they lost documents
explaining why they approved
the company’s minority certifi-
cation.
Though it had virtually no
business beforehand, Remedial
Environmental Manpower was
selected in 1995 as the main sub-
contractor on the city’s massive
blue-bag recycling program, a
contract that pays the firm as
much as $9 million a year.
It was not known what, if any,
connection the Duff family has
to Remedial Daily Labor.
After. the Tribune investiga-
tion, Daley vowed his own in-
vestigation of the Duffs* compa-
nies. The results of the city
probe concluded Windy City
Maintenance was controlled by
a woman when it first got city
business but eventually was
taken over by the Duff men.
There was no evidence of will-
ful wrongdoing, according to
administration officials,
Patricia Green’s husband,
John Duff Jr., once testified on
behalf of moh boss Anthony
“Big Tima” Accardo, who faced
income-tax fraud charges.
Duffs testimony helped the
mobster’s defense but ultimate-
ly cost Dtiff his job as a city in-
vestigator.
He later pleaded guilty to em-
bezzling union funds in Chica-
go and Detroit and spent 17
months in prison.
One of his three sons, John
Duff IH t has also been associat-
ed with organized crime.
He once testified mob boss Er-
nest Rocco Infelice gave him a
break on a gambling debt, and
he boasted about his organized-
crime ties when he was arrest-
ed in Florida in 1993 for threat-
ening to kill a police officer,
charges that were later dismis-
sed.

Tough Duffs lose
points for style*
at lunch meeting

Builder” Andriacchi.
cc: Rocky Infelice (who is away for
a while), Johnny “No Nose” DiFronzo,
Joey “The Clown” Lombardo and the rest
of the bosses of the Chicago Outfit.
Hey, Youse Wise Guys:
I was having lunch at Gene & Georgetti
on Friday with two of my good friends — a
Fox-TV analyst and the spokesman for
the Illinois Supreme Court.
And three well-knowfi Chicago toughs
walked up to our table.
These toughs boast of having supreme
connections with Outfit bosses and throw
out the big names around town.
And they’re also good friends of Mayor
Richard Daley, having received $100 mil-
lion in city-related cleaning contracts.
You know these three tough guys.
The Duffs.
What surprised me is that they’re in-
terested in my family.
They say they never see my little boys
playing out in front of my home. They say
it is quiet in front of our house.
I've written a lot about the Duffs and
Daley. And they don’t like that. A federal
grand jury is investigating how the Duffs
got their $100 million, including their af-
firmative action contracts for minorities
and women.
Daley must be* extremely nearsighted
because the Duffs sure don’t look like
black women to me.
Here’s what happened:
Sitting with me at lunch at Gene’s was
Thom Serafin, the respected political
consultant and Fox News analyst.
Also with us was Joseph Tybor. He’s a
former Tribune colleague, a lawyer and
currently the spokesman for the state Su-
preme Court.
Thom excused himself to use the facili-
ties. Joe and I were talking White Sox
baseball when three tough and chunky
Duffs walked up to the table.
It was like a scene from “The So-
pranos,” but without Paulie Walnuts.
“Hey, Kass,” one of them said. “I’m
JackDuff.”
He stuck his hand out and I took it, and
we kept squeezing, although it wasn’t
friendly.
“I live near you. My kids play on your
block sometimes, and you know what?”
he asked.
What?
“I’ve never seen your kids out in front.”
He smiled into my eyes, still gripping
my hand.
“And I’ve never seen anyone in front of
your house,” he said. “Ever.”
What? 1
“I don’t see anybody outside your
house. Ever,” he said.
After delivering his clumsy message,
he tried to leave, but I kept hold of his
hand, mentioning that we should have a
beer sometime, so I could keep him there
talking, so I could think.
Here was a Duff who likes my home so
much that he tells me he watches it in-
tently, he sees who comes and goes, won-
ders about my kids.
Two other Duffs were right behind
him, the father, Jack Duff Sr., and anoth-
er chunky son, who identified himself as
Jim Duff.
“Where do you want to meet?” asked
Jim Duff. “Want us to come over? Is that
Character:
it? Huh? You want us to come over?
Huh?”
Outfit bosses sometimes hang out at La
Scarola on Grand Avenue on Fridays. So I
told them we should meet there.
“We don’t go there anymore,” said Jim
Duff, sadly as they walked away. “We
don’t go there.”
I’m sure our social secretaries can ar-
range a luncheon, perhaps a high tea,
with the Duffs, the mayor and me.
But the Duffs and Daley must promise
not to scarf up all the crumpets and the .
cucumber sandwiches before I get there.
After they’d left, Thom Serafin sat back
down at the table. He was angry he mis-
sed the show.
Sitting at a nearby table was a former
Chicago police superintendent, who stop-
ped by to say hello and heard the story
from us.
Without prompting, the former police
superintendent said, “It sounds like a
threat to me.”
Joe Tybor, of the state Supreme Court,
was fascinated the Duffs repeated the
line about my home.
“He said it twice,” said Joe, later. “Not
once but twice.”
People who don’t like what I write com-
plain to me personally aH the time. Some-
times they get angry, eyen tough guys get
angry but I don’t write about it.
But don’t mention my children or my
home. Ever.
I thought that was against the rules.
It could have been a threat. Or simple
stupidity. Or it could have been panic
brought by a federal grand jury. I can’t
say.
Obviously, this is a question of style. So
I’m hoping that you, Joe Andriacchi, you,
Johnny DiFronzo, and the rest of the real
tough guys can enlighten us.
Miss Manners can’t answer this, but
you can. Why don’t you drop me an e-
mail to explain the proper wise guy eti-
quette here, OK?

Duffs
accounts
probed
by U.S.
Park Ridge bank
tied to subpoena
By Ray Gibson
Tribune staff reporter
The U.S. Department of La-
bor has subpoenaed the per-
sonal and business accounts
of a politically connected fam-
ily at a Park Ridge bank that
held union funds controlled by
members of the family
According to court records,
the investigation focuses on
whether the Duff family has
received favorable interest
rates on personal loans and
other financial perks for
maintaining the union funds
at Park Ridge Community
Bank.
Federal prosecutors have
been investigating the Duff
family for more than, two
years. The probe began after
Tribune disclosures that a jan-
itorial firm owned by the fam-
ily had improperly won tens of
millions of dollars in govern-
ment contracts and that the
family-run day-labor business
supplied workers to liquor dis-
tributors where a union con-
trolled by the Duffs had labor
contracts.

Their parents are John Duff
Jr. and Patricia Green Duff. She
was listed as owner of Windy
City Maintenance, a janitorial
business that city investigators
concluded wasn’t being operat-
ed as a female-owned business.
The father was listed as an own-
er of Windy City Labor Services,
the firm that provided day la-
borers to liquor businesses.
An attorney for the Duffs de-
clined to comment on the inves-
tigation. Bank Chairman Eu-
gene Carter also declined to
comment, as did a spokes - j
woman for the U.S. Department ij
of Labor. , 1
A federal grand jury this year
subpoenaed records at City Hall
and the Metropolitan Pier and
Exposition Authority relating
to tens of millions of dollars in
business Windy City Mainte-
nance had won at the two agen-
cies.
The Duff family has been ac-
tive in raising political dona-
tions for Mayor Richard M. Da-
ley, and its companies are do-
nors to Democratic and Repub-
lican candidates. Two members
of the family have hadties to or-
ganized-crime bosses.
John Duff Jr. once testified on
behalf of mob boss Anthony
“Big Tima” Accardo, who was
facing federal income-tax fraud
charges. John Duff Jr. later
pleaded guilty to embezzling
union funds in Chicago and De-
troit and spent 17 months in
prison.
John Duff HI was ousted in
2000 from the Hotel Employees
and Restaurant Employees In-
ternational Union after investi-
gators alleged he knowingly as-
sociated with organized-crime
figures, was a ghost payroller
and ran an illegal bookmaking
operation in Florida.
The Labor Department probe
began with a routine audit of the
union’s $3.2 million health and ;
welfare fund. Auditors noticed
that about $750,000 of the fund
was held in a single account at
the Park Ridge Bank, exceeding
the $100,000 federal insurance
limit, according to court re-
cords.
With $650,000 of the fund at
risk, the auditors last year cited
the fund for violating its fiduci-
ary responsibility. Then it is- :
sued the subpoena for an exten-
sive list of records, including
personal accounts of all five
family members, loans to fam-
ily members and business ac-
counts.
With $152 million in assets, ;
Park Ridge is a mid-size commu-
nity bank. Carter saidhe started ;
the bank in July 1995 with his
son, Thomas, who is the bank’s
president.
Land records show that at
least three of the Duff family '
members and an attorney for
! the fund have received loans
I from the bank.

rowed $450,000 from the Park
I Ridge bank and another $150,000
1 from a La Grange bank to buy a
■ $710,000 home in La Grange.
He refinanced the home two
years later with another lender
when mortgage rates decreased.
In 1996, John Duff Jr. and his

ARAMARK SERVICEMASTER
Downers Grove/ 11.
Board unanimous in dumping janitorial company
j By Ray Gibson
t Tribune staff reporter
A politically connected jani-
torial firm that was paid more
than $50 million since 1996 for
cleaning McCormick Place and
Navy Pier was dumped Tuesday
when the Metropolitan Pier and
j Exposition Authority board
awarded the agency’s most lu-
crative contract to a rival firm.
Windy City Maintenance Inc.,
under investigation by a federal
grand jury lost the contract in a
unanimous vote by the board,
which selected ARAMARK Ser-
viceMaster.
Without comment, the board
rejected a recommendation by
staff that the janitorial service
contract be divided between
Windy City and ARAMARK.
Windy City, which is con-
trolled by the Duff family, won
the contract in 1996 after McPier
officials tossed out the first
round of bids, in which three
competitors underbid Windy
City The firm then lowered its
price by $1.3 million and was
awarded the five-year contract.
When the contract expired
last year, the board extended it
while it sought new proposals,
but that process generated con-
troversy.
The Tribune reported in 1999
that Windy City had reaped
more than $100 million in city-
related and McPier business,
some of it by using its status as a
woman-owned business to cap-

ture contracts set aside for
firms run by women or minori- '
ties. Despite that designation,
the firm was run by men in the
Duff family, the Tribune found.
The Cook County state’s at-
torney’s office is reviewing the
bid process for the new McPier
contract after the bids of the sev-
en competing firms were illegal-
ly revealed to one of the bidders.
The board asked for the investi-
gation in May and also asked
outside accountants to review
the bid process.
A spokesman for the state’s at-
torney’s office declined com-
ment on the inquiry
Meanwhile, a federal grand
jury continues to investigate
how the Duffs won the McPier
contract as. well as millions of
dollars in city contracts.
Board member Patrick Daly
said the amount to be paid to
Downers Grove-based ARA-
MARK is being negotiated.
Daly said staff members had
recommended dividing the con-
tract, but the board overruled
the recommendation. He did not
elaborate.
How the deal to keep Windy
City fell through is unclear.
John Ruel, a board member who
sources said didn’t favor keep-
t ing Windy City, declined to com-
ment after the authority’s meet-
tag*
The authority has been bat-
tling public relations setbacks
in recent months.
In April, its chief executive of-
ficer, Scott Fawell, was indicted
on federal racketeering charges
that he used state employees to
do political work for Gov.
George Ryan’s campaign in
1998. Fawell, who is on paid
leave from his $195,000 post, has
pleaded not guilty to the charg-
es.
In May, a McPier board mem-
ber, Lawrence Warner, was in-
dicted on federal charges that he
paid bribes for multimillion-
dollar contracts and leases dur-
ing George Ryan’s tenure as sec-
retary of state. Warner also
pleaded not guilty.
In June, there were published
reports of Fawell throwing par-
ties for Senate President James
“Pate” Philip and board mem-
ber James Bolin. Both later re-
imbursed McPier for the events.
Last month, an owner of one
of the companies that Windy
City uses on the Navy Pier and
McCormick Place contract testi-
fied in the federal corruption
trial of Cicero Town President
Betty Loren-Maltese and seven
others.
In his testimony, Anthony Le-
opold said his family-owned jan-
itorial business, We Clean Inc.,
borrowed nearly $180,000 over
several years from Michael Spa-
no Jr., whose father is the reput-
ed head of organized crime in
Cicero. Prosecutors say the
money Leopold received was
stolen from Cicero as part of an
elaborate $10 million fraud
scheme.
Two members of the Duff fam-

Board member Patrick Daly

the new contract was not set.
ily also have ties to organized
crime figures. John Duff Jr.
once testified on behalf of the
late mob chieftain Anthony
“Big Tuna” Accardo, who was
facing income tax fraud charg-
es. Duff later pleaded guilty to
embezzling, union funds in Chi-
cago and Detroit and spent 17
months in prison.
One of his sons, John Duff HI,
was ousted in 2000 from the Ho-
tel Employees and Restaurant
Employees International Union
after investigators said he asso-
ciated with organized-crime fig-
ures.
The Duff family has been ac-
tive in raising funds for Mayor
Richard Daley and its compa-
nies are donors to Democratic
and Republican candidates.
After a five-month investiga-
tion in 1999, the city concluded
that Windy City was not run by
John Duff Jr.’s wife, Patricia
Green Duff, as the firm had
claimed. The decertification as
a woman-owned company led to
the cancellation of $1 million in
city contracts.
In 2000, the company lost the
job ofcleaningup after cityfesti-
vals, a move that cost the firm
about $573,000 a year in busi-
ness. In addition, the firm lost
city business at Harold Wash-
ington Library and the Interna-
tional Terminal at O ’Hare Inter-
national Airport, where it was a
subcontractor.
One Duff-related firm still has
business with the city. That
company, Remedial Environ-
mental, Manpower has been
paid more than $36 million for
work on its blue bag recycling
program.
Last month, Remedial filed
documents with the city show-
ing that John Duff Jr. and Patri-
cia Green Duff owned the com-
pany along with William Strat-
ton. The Duffs are white and
Stratton is African-American.
The firm had been at the center
of a dispute about whether the
Duffs owned it or whether it was
minority-owned.
The recent filing showed that
Stratton owns 60 percent of the
company’s stock and Patricia
Green Duff holds 40 percent.

City was
informed
of Duff
suspicions
In ’99, inspector
reported doubts
woman ran firm
, By Ray Gibson
and Laurie Cohen
Tribune staff reporters
i
i Almost three years ago,
l when the City of Chicago
: stripped Windy City Mainte,
nance of its status as a wom-
an-owned firm, officials stop-
ped short of saying the con-
, troversial company had ac-
tively deceived anyone.
The firm had erroneously
stated it was run by Patricia
Green, but that was only be-
cause Green once was in
charge and had since handed
off some of her duties, city of-
i ficials concluded.
But a recently discovered
City Hall document shows
that behind the scenes, a city
inspector was suspicious that
Green ran the firm because
she seemed unable to grasp
basic points about how the
business operated.
Though the inspector never
concluded deception was in-
volved, he reported he was
"stunned” by Green’s lack of
business knowledge.
blames Streicker, a lawyer
- for the Duff family, which
controls Windy City, declined
comment on the report. Two
members of the Duff family
have been linked to the mob
by authorities, and the family
has political ties to Mayor
Richard M. Daley
The report, which provides
the first public glimpse of the
city’s investigation of Windy
City shows inspector Robert
Cunniff made several sur-
prise visits to the firm, but
Green was never around.
When Cunniff finally
reached Green by phone, he
was surprised she knew so lit-
tle about Windy City’s oper-
ations.
"I asked about the cost of
her services, and she re-
sponded that ‘she didn’t
know.’ Not only that, she
didn’t seem to know who did
know. ... We are not discuss-
[ ing a minor detail here. This
is the cost of her service!” he
wrote.
The city has denied Trib-
une requests for documents
relating to the investigation.
Cunniff s report turned up
misfiled with city records on
another janitorial outfit.
His report was filed in Au-
gust 1999, five months before
the city decertified the com-
pany and the month following

janitorial firm had improperly
won tens of millions of dollars
in government contracts by
falsely claiming to being own-
ed by a woman.
At the Dec. 31, 1999, news con-
ference, Corporation Counsel
Mara Georges said the city’s in-
vestigation had found “no evi-
dence of an affirmative action
by them to engage in decep-
tion.”
Georges said control of the
firm had been gradually turned
over to male members of the
Duff family partly because
Green, the family matriarch,
had health problems. (Green’s
married name is Green Duff.)
There was no evidence of
fraud, Georges said, because
company officials believed that
Green’s diminished role at
Windy City met the statutory
definition of being a woman-
owned enterprise.
Had the city found any evi-
dence of fraud, officials could
have barred the firm from re-
ceiving city business for three
years and referred the case to
law enforcement authorities
for investigation.
Although the city didn’t ask
for an investigation, federal
prosecutors launched a probe
of the firm following the Trib-
une article. The investigation
is ongoing, authorities said.
Cunniff tried to interview
Green more than six weeks be-
fore the Tribune story was pub-
lished in July 1999. His visit
came after Windy City submit-
ted its annual papers to be re-

The Tribune reported in 1999 that Windy City Maintenance, at 1024 W. Kinzie St., improperly won tens
certified as a woman-owned
business enterprise, a designa-
tion that allows companies to
? g ish in on city policies mandat-
in g that women and minorities
receive a chunk of city work.
“On June 9th of this year, I
w< ent, unannounced, to the
a hove address; but Patricia
Green, the president, was not
i r i,” Cunniff wrote in his re-
port. “I stated my intent, but no
oi ie seemed to know of her
w hereabouts or of her expected
ti me back.”
After failing to locate Green,
G unniff wrote that he was “di-
rected to leave it alone” until
August 1999. He apparently
went back as part of the city’s
5-month long investigation of
the Duff family that led to the
Dec. 31 news conference.
Cunniff made two more sur-
prise visits, but Green was nev-
er in the office. He finally
reached her by phone. She sug-
gested he try back the next
week, according to the report,
and asked him ‘to surprise her’
with the time of my call.”
When Cunniff got Green on
the phone, she had little knowl-
edge about the details of the
company. “The President of a
company can delegate whatev-
ONLY AT SYMPHONY CENTER CAN YOU ACQUIRE A

er she wants, but to have no
knowledge of something as ba-
sic as costing does remain a
mystery,” he wrote.
Jennifer Hoyle, a spokes-
woman for the city’s Law De-
partment, said Cunniff s report
didn’t contradict anything
Georges said at the news con-
ference.
Hoyle said the report “was
filed where it was supposed to
be until recently.”
Jessica Maxey-Faulkner, a
spokeswoman for the city’s
Procurement Services Depart-
ment, which handles certifica-
tion of minority- and woman-
owned businesses, said Cun-
niff wasn’t ordered to back off
the case in June. He was only
advised to pursue other assign-
ments and return to work on
the case at a later date. Cunniff
declined to be interviewed.
As a result of the city action,
Windy City lost millions of dol-
lars in contracts with the city

^Authority awarded the compa-
ny’s most lucrative contract— a
$10 million a year cleaning con-
tract at Navy Pier and McCor-
mick Place— to a rival firm.
The Duff family has been ac-
tive in raising political dona-
tions for Daley, and its compa-
nies are donors to both Demo-
crats and Republicans.
Two members of the family
have had ties to organized-
crime bosses. JohnDuff Jr., the
husband of Green, once testi-
fied on behalf of former mob
boss Anthony “Big Tuna” Ac-
cardo, who was on trial for fed-
eral income tax fraud. The el-
der Duff later pleaded guilty to
embezzling union funds.
One of his sons, JohnDuff III,
was ousted in 2000 from the
union representing hotel and
restaurant employees after in-
vestigators alleged he know-
ingly associated with orga-
nized-crime figures, was a
ghost payroller in the union
j and ran an illegal bookmaking
operation in Florida.
